Independent Sources is a serious (and well-written) blog covering current events, California politics, and economics. We have recently had two very well received posts (one on hot lesbian Carolina Panther cheerleaders and the other on smoking hot lingerie modeling for homeless youths). While both of these fell within our editorial focus we thought it important to follow up with a serious journalistic work–say mainstream media critiquing.

Normally, we critique the Los Angeles Times, but this time we thought we would take advantage of the riots in France to look at broadcast media there since they have been accused of under-reporting of the damage being caused in their own country by rioting Muslims.

Our investigation of these allegations took us to French broadcaster LCI and in particular Melissa Theuriau. We selected her because she is smoking hot to look at. Say what you want about the French 35-hour work week or their immigration policy, but when it comes to how the news is delivered, France is unparalleled.

Here is her official web site is here (with hundreds of photos, I’ve just picked a few).

Mélissa Theuriau presents “LCI Matin” (LCI Morning) and the news of 6:40 on TF1 from Monday to Thursday and the “Voyages” (travels) show on Wednesdays at 13:55 on LCI.

This French eye candy gives us all a reason to watch the news. Mélissa Theuriau was born on the 18th of July 1978 in Grenoble ( a town in the south-east of France):
- Mélissa Theuriau est entrée au “desk” de LCI en janvier 2003.
- Elle fut titularisée dans l’équipe du matin en septembre 2004.
- Depuis septembre 2005 Mélissa Theuriau présente LCI Matin avec à ses côtés Thierry Gilardi.

Some of you will question Melissa’s journalistic abilities and accuse the network of employing her on the basis of her physical appearance alone. Nothing could be further from the truth. Anything this hot looking, basically bordering on celestial goddess, is bound to be skilled at reading a teleprompter or whatever it is that broadcast journalists do. When one’s looks are off the chart, as hers are, we think it petty jealously to question her qualifications.

Others will consider our obsession with her as sexism. Come on. If there were no women in broadcast news, that would be sexism. Her station management should be commended for stepping out on a limb and taking a shot with a unbelievably smoking hot newscaster like Melissa Theuriau.

So that is Independent Sources hard-biting critique of the French media’s handling of the riots. We hope that your appreciate our “pull no punches” approach. And as a special thank you for reading Independent Sources, please accept the special “wallet size” photos of Melissa Theuriau so she will always be with you.

In our next media review we’ll make sure to have some nice glamor shots of Michael Hiltzik, Paul Krugman, and Kevin Roderick–that ought to shut-up the “treat the sexes the same” crowd.

To show you what a funny world we live in, blogger 8763 Wonderland is obsessed with Micky Kaus as much as we are obsessed with Melissa Theurian. Hmmmm.
