The Hottest Newscasters: Readers' Choice Edition -- Vote for Your Favorite

And now for this important update: The readers of Asylum have looked at the list of Top 20 Hottest Newscasters and demanded a recount. Some have said our editors don't know jack about what makes a hot, hard-hitting reporter.

In search of the truth, the Asylum editorial board has decided to take the nominations received for "best news-breaking babe" and put them up for a vote.

After the chads have been counted, we will send the winner Asylum's "Hottest Newscaster of the Year" award.

(By the way, we do care about brilliant and insightful journalism, but don't let that sway your vote.)

I can't believe that Gretchen Carlson didn't make this list. I'd climb over almost all of these girls just to get a glimpse of Gretch. She's way hotter than lots of the girls on here! You're still my alltime favorite Gretchen, you just rock!

I find it incredibly sexist to have a vote on the hottest woman newscaster. In a newscaster I am looking for someone who is smart and analytical as well as unbiased.

Everyone has got it all of course. Hazel Mae of N.E.S.N is by far the hottest newscaster. And I will take it one step futher, she is one of the sexiest women on tv.

Melissa Carlson for MSNBC in Baltimore is a credit to her profession and we think should be added to your list.

Without a doubt--Jeanette Trompeter of WCCO tv in the Twin Cities. When she walks down the street, people notice. My son looks forward to our live tv broadcasts at the MN State Fair just so he could see Jeanette in shorts. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!

Why hasn't anyone called attention to the classic beauty of Susan Lisovicz at CNN. She happens to be one of the most gorgeous red heads I've ever seen. She's not only great to look at with her high cheek bones and distinctive dimples, but also makes some of the sexiest facial expressions imaginable while keeping us financially informed. Her physical beauty is only surpassed by her knowledge of the Stock Market and expert ability to define the workings of Wall Street. CNN should seriously consider giving her a show of her own.

The hottest newscaster on TV is Megyn Kelly on FOX and sh=omehow she isn't on the list. She is hot because she is not only beautiful but intelligent and smart. She happens to also be an attorney.
