I suspect most of the Fox women are far more liberal-at least moderate, when it comes down to it. Face it, 75% of them just read from the teleprompter and are basically told what to say.

I would like to see their views on gay marriage, abortion etc when the cameras are off and they are among friends.

I have no doubt that Megyn Kelly is actually as conservative as she would have us believe. Obviously so is Michelle Malkin. There are quite a few others that spew their venom with too much conviction to be 'just doing a job'.

On the other side of the coin, I think it's possible that Gretchen Carlson is just a ding dong doing a job. And I'm coming around to the school of thought that Ann Coulter is more of a cynical opportunist than the nutjob she plays on TV- she's probably still pretty conservative, but she says lots of outrageous things just so people and the press will pay attention to her.

but I think the average Fox woman who just reads the news are not all conservative.

Ann Coulter has dated several liberal guys..lot of these are "acts" as you mentioned to sell books etc.

they recruit their cookie-cutter blondes. Shannon Bream for example is a proud grad of Liberty (Falwell's) university. Haven't checked the others but I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't either fundie Catholic (Alysn Camerata, Martha McCallum) or fundie Xian (Gretchen Carlson), etc.

family leave when her baby was born and couldn't understand why we were not like other countries where it is a paid family leave....she even spoke of it on air...there is a u tube somewhere of it... I wonder if she knows that is a liberal thing?
