Who's The Middle East Hottie?

31. Your piece on "hotties" in the Middle East is vapid but also confirms our enemy's worse criticisms of American culture. You should be ashamed, but you will no doubt use this email to.... entertain! Stay away from me, whoever you are.

32. Anderson Cooper doesn't need any "ploy" for people to admire him. He's intelligent, driven and one of the best reporters out there and in addition to that, is incredibly gorgeous which, of course, is why he's in the lead and Engel is not.

33. Ok, ok, I know there's danger out there (and in here)..........but I wanna put in my two cents. In the past, we've seen hotties "out there" reporting & there was such a hoopla about them. Once they returned to the states and their respective network bureaus, then covered regular news' stories, the network big-wigs changed their looks. From hotties to dork-eroos, everytime! (Can't even remember their names but recognize them when on air.) > As for Anderson Cooper, didn't even give him a chance, didn't even want to view/read his stuff. I'd like for him to hit the dark streets in our American neighborhoods & report crime, gangs, homeless, hunger, hardship, child abuse, jobless, etc.....IN OUR OWN BACKYARD.

He's been there, done that, TheseDays. See 'Murder in Hollenbeck' , a CNN Presents one-hour look at gangs in LA. Was kind of cutely funny to see him interviewing the gang members; he's the whitest white guy on the planet.

35. I can't believe that during a war when hundreds are dying, thousands are running anywhere they can, a country (a BEAUTIFUL country) is being torn to pieces, and you are worried about who is the hottest reporter??
Are you people normal, or is it just easy for you because you have no family or life there to care about??
Instead of doing this run a poll of how many people are terrified and hurt over what is happening. Run a poll to see how many people wish there was something they cound do. Run a poll to see how many people have family trapped in Lebanon.
Don't be so heartless.

36. Typically the American media show no regard for the awful current events the world is facing. Millions displaced from their homes in Lebanon, hundreds killed in Lebanon & also Israel & you guys are worrying about who's the hottest news reporter?! It's disgusting, untasteful & should be removed.

43. This is a ridiculous article, however it did get a laugh from me. Richard Engel is the must qualified reporter that is covering this war. Yes, he's the best. He is not a hottie-- he's a REAL reporter who goes out and gets the news himself. It isn't handed to him. He speaks Arabic and actually goes out onto the streets to talk to the people. All of these reporters are extremely brave for going over to be inside of a war. Read Richard's book on Iraq "A Fist in the Hornet's Nest". Reading his book solidified to me that he's the best reporter out there and one brave man. These other reporters mentioned here have nothing on him when it comes to time spent inside of a war zone.

45. Hey sex sells...even the guys are getting rated these days. I just wish people cared as much about the brains and education that people bring to their jobs!!! Wow...ladies, we are nothing more than sweater monkies, and well, the guys are apparently nothing more than a bulge in their pants...err...wallet. Some things never change. Sigh.
