Earlier today on FNC, Brit Hume had this to say about Elizabeth Vargas: “She’s a very attractive young woman and a serious person who, my guess is, that this probably will end up being a good thing for her if she doesn’t sit in an anchor chair right away. I think it will probably be good for her to get some further grounding. She’s a very polished presence. here’s no substitute in that evening news anchor chair for experience and knowledge, as you know.”
Read his comments about Charlie Gibson after the jump…
“And it doesn’t show every night when you simply come in and things are routine and you read your introductions off the teleprompter the way all of us who anchor do. But it shows big time when a big story breaks, or you’re anchoring at a convention or some other major news event. And that’s when audience loyalties are shifted or can shift. And with somebody like Charlie in the anchor chair with the breadth of his experience, his ease; his relationship with the correspondents I predict will be excellent, he’ll have great rapport. Charlie is remarkably non-egotistical, that will show through, the audience will like that, his colleagues will all appreciate that. This is a good thing for ABC News and a good thing for Charlie.”
