Female news presenters

I'm not sure whether I notice this more since BBC Breakfast moved to Salford or whether it wasn't quite like this in London (the camera angles rather than the presenters who are often the same people). The female presenters wear short but not tiny skirts. The real problem is that that they sit on the sofa with their knees crossed – did no one ever tell them not to do this? Consequently, a considerable length of at least one thigh is exposed and recently we were treated to an, albeit brief, glimpse of someone's knickers. Today, we were treated to Susannah Reid smacking her legs with her hands in "excitement".I really don't want this when I have just got out of bed and am trying to catch up 0n world events.

I like Diane Sawyer on the US news channel, ABC. She's in her sixties and always professionally presented, usually with a blouse and jacket or similar. This way this emphasis is on the news, not on her appearance. Women news presenters here always seem to be in tight and revealing outfits more suitable for a party. And don't get me started on Victoria Coren ...

I mean, could her dresses be any tighter? [Bitchy emoticon]

I like Michal Hussein who mainly does weekends on the BBC.
