Never have understood her hire. She makes mistakes of some kind in every single newscast. Every single one! You can tell Farmer can’t wait to get the heck out of there.

so…is it BEX-rr or BEAR (that being Bexar) and I ain’t even from here, but I know how to pronounce crap!

Well, to be honest, I’ve noticed several misprounciations. She also appears to be a little to “hyped” up in the mornings for me. Maybe she’s overloaded on caffeine to stay awake. Greg Fields even made a comment about it the other day on the air.

I remember when she first arrived, they ran some footage of M.L. King III and she commented, “boy, that sure was a fiery preacher. That’ll wake you up!” First, people in the news industry should know who M.L King III is. Secondly, he is not a preacher. Third, if she says “that’ll wake you up again” after a story, I am going to scream!

Also, this morning she made a face after she read a story about the chair of the Texas Democratic party and his wife announcing their support of Senator Obama. It was totally inappropriate and so obvious.

I think she should drop that segment on things you can find on the Web (which most of us have already found, TYVM) and play a rousing game of “Gay or Not Gay.”

I mean, she’s good at that, right?

The way I understand it, unless you’re the SPCA of Texas a celebrity with something to plug (e.g., Paris Hilton’s “exclusive” with Cogill when her bad movie premiered here), all of the segments are sold, so it’s basically an informercial disguised as a Regis and Kelly Lee knockoff.

This one has the climber’s reaction:

Never gets old.

Wait a minute the Akard station is closing? ****, aren’t we supposed to be trying to revitalize downtown?

It’s only closing for a month or so, relax Pookie.

She wasn’t a burb babe but some of us didn’t consider parts of North Dallas ‘the real Dallas’ either (sorry Wilonsky). I’m trying to remember if I’ve heard her pronounce “Cadiz”…

Jane,

Why do you care about her personal grooming habits?

Jane, thank you for the late afternoon laugh

This reminds me of the time about 10 or so years ago when another new WFAA daytime anchor pronounced “Ennis” to rhyme with “penis”.

Anyone else think that the climber sounds like Owen Wilson?

I loved Jackie Hyland when she was here she was all class her replacement doesn’t have a shred of class that is the problem. And what is wrong with Alexa she looks ill these days.

I met Cynthia when she came to our polling place to vote on Primary Day. Dem, by the way. She was lovely and very nice. That “overcaffeinated” style is just how she is naturally. I like her, she seems natural.

I loved Hyland. What class. That was a real loss.

Teele and Cogill are really, really painful to watch. And Teele is so tiny she makes the blond look 50 pounds overweight, which she’s probably not.

Randy - you ignorant white boy, everyone who knows anything about food, Spanish, Tex-mex and proper locution knows it’s pronounced GuaKamol. Where are you from?????

Don’t make me say Grady Niblo!

I vote for more Alexa.

Rawlins-

You are clearly uninformed and insignificant. Way to go. Back to you, Wick.

Cynthia needs to lighten up about saying her name…….Cynthia Izzzzzaaaaaguuuuuuuiiiiiiireeeeeeeeee. Around here it’s pronounced IZAGUIRRE…..short and simple. She just needs to go back to where ever she came from. She is so fake you can see right through her. I’ve read other blogs that say…..she’s hot. Whoever said that needs to get their eyes checked.

I remember Izzy when she was here in Albuquerque. I have to agree with most of the posters from Texas, she doesn’t belong there. She is in the wrong place. She belongs in prime time, where a person with her charm , intellect, and spirit make a difference. It’s just a camera lens but it reaches millions. How good are you at making millions feel included in a conversation about the things that are important to all of us on a daily basis. It takes a special talent to do that day in and day out, and then go out into the public and be judged on a personal and professional level. Cynthia has that talent and it is wasted on those who can’t even get up next to their own spouse with that level of communication. Don’t hate her because she has class and for those of you who are looking through a solid wall, she is as beautiful as she is smart. Last time I checked that wasn’t a reason to dismiss hard work and professionalism. Izzy your the best, the rest of you, go kiss your spouse, hug your kids, and be thankful your not being judged so harshly every time you walk out your front door and open your mouth. Give her a break. And Izzy, roll them R’s, it’s who we are!

I’ve stopped watching News 8 Daybreak because I got tired of hearing Cynthia pronounce her last name. Then she was filling in at the 10:00 PM news and I stopped watching that too. I’ve switched back to Channel 5. Everyone there knows how to pronounce their name so it doesn’t offend anybody. I can’t even stand to here her say “THAAAAANNNNKKKKKK YOUUUUUUU AAAALLEEEXXIIIAAAA”

I read on another blog that Cynthia’s off more than she’s at work. Maybe she’s out looking for another job or working at Wal-Mart as a checker. She needs to just bow out gracefully and realize that Dallas may be her home but she’s just not right for the Dallas / Ft. Worth area.
