Live from the Cyberspace Center, it’s the Second Annual Mr. HARD News Pageant!

Featuring the American Newsmedia’s hottest and most talented reporters, pundits, and commentators, based on comments made and threadspace occupied throughout the year by our distinguished panel of bitchy Dataloungers

Before we announce our top 30 candidates, a few pointers:

This year, we are limiting our contestant pool to strictly hard news talking heads. So no fluff heads and no politicians. That means that people like last year’s winner (Justin Trudeau) or gorgeous eye candy like Mario López or Michael Strahan are unfortunately not under consideration.

Also, the pool will be limited to national level personalities from American news shows. The contestant themselves can be any nationality, but they must be currently participating in a nationally broadcast show in the U.S. No local entries and no Canadian news shows. Telemundo OK, if it’s a national show.

The first few cuts will be based on your comments in this thread and this thread only. If there are not enough comments, we will resort to other threads. We will not use the polling feature until the top ten, for obvious reasons (poll limits).

Feel free to judge anyone based on anything ranging from looks to BDF to reporting skills to charm, charisma, or any sex fantasies.

Since you fat whores didn't see fit to put me in the lineup, y'all can just kiss (as well as rim, suck, finger, and fuck) every inch of my creamy, supple, hairless twink ass.

LOL Vaughn; you are very cute, and I’m sure your ass is supple and delicious. But frankly this is the first we’ve ever heard of you. Maybe we should watch NBC News more! Better luck next year!

We forgot a fourth honorable mention, whose sex allure has been particularly noticed by Dataloungers as of recently:

As usual, I'm abstaining every year because you once snubbed Irving R. Levine.

by Anonymousreply 37September 17, 2018 2:43 PM

I guess we should have also stated you must be alive to compete.

by Anonymousreply 38September 17, 2018 2:58 PM

Point of order: Don Lemon is a woman and is, therefore, disqualified from the competition.

I recommend substituting Peter Alexander of NBC News. He should skyrocket into the top five on the merit of his sexy hairy chest alone.

Gio Benetiz is hard news?!?😂🤣😂🤣

by Anonymousreply 40September 17, 2018 9:02 PM

[quote]Benitez joined ABC News in 2013. He has covered a wide range of stories for the network, including the Boston Marathon bombing, the Alabama child held hostage underground in an eight-day standoff, the American mother stuck in a Mexican jail, and nearly every major snow storm that swept the nation during the winter of 2013.

Sounds pretty hard to me.

Scott McLean could keep me warm through those frigid Colorado winters. He could talk about himself all he wants, as long as he uses his bedroom voice.

by Anonymousreply 45September 18, 2018 12:36 AM

Chris Cuomo just took the lead tonight with his gorgeous fresh sun tan.

by Anonymousreply 46September 18, 2018 1:04 AM

Yeah I looked for Peter’s hairy chest couldn’t find it.

Miguel Marquez definitely has Some serious BDF and has hands the size of Texas. I wonder how he uses them ...
