Rita Cosby

Where is she now, have not seen Rita in a long time ??????It is 2009

she is less than zero,0.

I am so disappointed with Rita Cosby. Her new book is complete trash. In my opinion, she went from legitimate news journalist to trailer-trash gossip. The book is full of false and inaccurate stories that shes trying to pass off as fact. Im pretty confident that over the next couple of months all of her sources will crumble and she will be completely discredited.

Never liked her, I prefer Nancy Grace over her. She listens to rumors and prints them in her new book. Does not sound like a honest journalist.

I'm just so f'--kin' pissed that people in the public media take advantage of people for their own PERSONAL gain. Rita Cosby is nothing but a sleazy reporter who does not get her facts right. Her new book Blonde Ambition about Anna Nicole Simth, is nothing but trash. I hope she gets sued and gets whats coming to her. Both Vergie and Rita are pieces of CRAP! Can't wait for Karma to slap her right in the face... TRASH,TRASH,TRASH...

Her voice is Shot moron - she is useless

oh man, shes the best

ever since rita cosby aired her show, shes been doing lots of great things and she had the best stories she had to offer. She helped bring out Dog! and that show is awesome. I love her work and i cant w8 wat'll she do next

Hi as A Police Officer, I think when US Marshals Came to get Dog Chapman they really didnt want to do anything but follow orders like Dog does, we as Police always support Chapmans Family and Dog. Thank You for what you do by Helping everyone keep up with your work AND DONT PAY NO MIND TO POLITICS, BUSH AND ALL OF THEM SCREWED UP THIS COUNTRY .... AND FOR RITA COSBY WAY TO GO LOVE YOUR SHOWS AND THANK YOU FOR GETTING INVOLVED IN BRINGING DOGS FAMILY HOME....

Rita has stopped straining her voice as before. I doubt that it was physical, but rather, trying to sound "different", in a business overcrowded with people trying to outdo each other. She may have gone to a voice coach. She also got rid of the red outfits that she wore every day.

hi i really love your what you do. would you please update on dog the bounty hunter. i think it would b a shame if he went back to mexico. thankyou. carla toll my email is [email protected] any info would be greatly appreciated.

Wow. I am so relieved to find these comments. I too thought I was being too critical; As an official news junkin - msnbc in particular - i too was tripping over myself to either change the channel or turn off the TV when she came on. I figured she must be some very powerful person niece, girlfriend, daughter, etc. in order for MSNBC to have their. Listening to her just a few minutes ago, it sound like she is trying to tone it down, which makes me wonder; why are they SO determined to keep her? There must be a line of qualified reporters out there...why her? I just can't listen to her....

love your show,Please help dog,the bounty hunter

Rita Cosby talks too much, and does not allow any of her interviewees to say a word. I rather not see her or hear her at all.

LIKE HER VOICE LIKE HER FACE LIKE HER. SHE HAS ME HOOKED. I FIND ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ANOYING.

Dear MSNBC... Rita Cosby, as a PERSON, is probably a lovely lady. Unfortunately, we only get to know her as a newscaster with a grating voice. I'm sure she is well aware of it. As a person who had vocal nodes at one time, the raspiness in her speaking voice is a dead give-away that there are serious problems going on in her vocal cords. I SO can't stand listening to the stress in her intake breathing and speaking voice that I simply TURN HER OFF. There are far too many options for news reports. I would recommend that Rita takes enough time off of work to get some speech therapy...and/or whatever medical attention she needs to get this fixed. Ain't no way she'll have ANY speaking voice left in another 5 years...and then it will be too late! A one-star rating? Yes...and it's mostly due to the poor vocal quality, making good communication impossible.

Too many of you got it all wrong when it comes to this lady. Personally I disagree with plenty of her views on things. However, this lady is most certainly a very capable and qualified news woman. Her voice is different but unique and sexy. She's not petite, but she is beautiful. She has a style about her and I hope she maintains her difference. I think she could be less opinionated, but so could most of these news correspondents. Just imagine if we all looked the same, sounded the same, thought the same, worship and loved the same way. What a bore mankind would be! In fact, man's biggest downfall is this belief that we all should be the same. We need to learn to appreciate and enjoy the differences that make us unique and special to the world. We claimed to be fighting a war that people may be able to live their lives in perpetual freedom regardless of their faith, politics, gender, sexual preference, colour, creed, etc. Yet, we each other down for the very differences we...

Ever time I hear her voice it makes me wanna chug a beer. I really think she is a dude.

How this woman got a job broadcasting at a national level is beyond me. Her voice sounds like she drinks battery acid. in my opinion, a poor interviewer aswell.

Not only is her on air persona unprofessional, her voice sounds like fingernails on a blackboard. It gives me chills. Take her off the air, for the love of God!!!

She has the worst voice on tv. She gasps for breath and sounds like an old woman or someone who had throat cancer. Sorry if she did, but she should NOT in any way be on tv. Listen to her terrible gaspy monotone is like hearing a group of turtles crawling over a chalk board. Just really terrible.

I'm glad to know that it's not something unique to my hearing. Her voice really is bizarre. Actually, she sort of sounds like a post-op transsexual who hasn't kept up with her hormone treatments.

I clicked on what looked to be a very interesting story about John Mark Karr on msn.com - I had to stop the video. Her voice makes me want to do a swan dive out of my eighth floor window. Please, make it stop.

Jim Carrey used to play a 'woman' with big pigtails on " In Living Colour" that sounded just like Rita Cosby.

Sounds like she snorts Botox. I'd rather listen to a tracheotomy patient with a shorted out voice vibrator!

A basic requirement of an on air personality is to have a good voice. Her's is worse than chalk on a blackboard.

In fairness to her, I've never been able to talk myself into watching her show, so I can't really comment on whether it's as bad and superficial as others have said, and she certainly can't help the rasping Frank Costello voice nature "blessed" her with. But I suspect she's not the world's female equivalent of Edward R. Murrow. Keith Olbermann can barely keep a straight face when he ends his program with, "And coming next on MSNBC is Rita Cosby with the latest breaking news from Aruba regarding the Natalee Holloway case..."

This poor woman ! Why on earth would she humiliate herself by going on national TV with THAT VOICE and such a lack of personality !! Until I googled her voice I thought maybe I was being a bit too critical (not). Rita- get off the air now !!

she tries but just cant cut it

She obviously has a serious throat condition which makes for a voice that is difficult to listen to on TV. She interrupted her 3 guests often tonight simply talking about Katharine McPhee (Am. Idol runner up). It's been in several magazines and I believe the newspaper that she has admitted to having Bulemia which has damaged her voice. Can't believe Rita or the 3 guests didn't know that. They kept talking about bronchitis and laryngitis. Not very investigative reporting...maybe that's what Rita has, chronic laryngitis. So annoying I switched channels...again.

OH GOD I somehow managed to miss her before today. The "jamming ice pricks in my ears" thing is so spot-on. WTF were they thinking?? How did this hosehound manage to get a broadcasting job? She sounds like she gargled with razor blades then followed that up with a chaser of Jim Beam. Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?!???!?

hmmm...what is it about rita cosby's voice that makes me want to stick ice picks in my ears? my experience with her show would be akin to trying to navigate a mine field. as much i try to avoid her at all costs, there are times when i'll accidentally "step" on this piece of garbage show. and as i rush to switch the channel, i am entertained for a brief second by the thought that this woman might have a human husband somewhere in this world who must mate with her on a regular basis and what she must sound like as she is in the throes of passion. like envisioning the apocalypse, no man can truly glimpse a sound so horrifying, but i'll venture to guess that it might sound a bit like cows being sent to the slaughter, interlaced with the sound of a man choking on his own vomit, sprinkled with the the mating calls of silver back gorillas.

I don't care what you guys say, I wanna hose her.

She is the only name I know here.

Worst personality on MSNBC! Sounds like she smokes road flares. Second only to Nancy Grace for most obnoxious person on cable news.

I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I can't really judge her on her ability because I can't get past her voice. It is hard to believe there isn't someone else to do this job. Her voice is too distracting to listen to the issues she discusses. Can't usually listne more than a few minutes. What happened to her voice anyway?

An obnoxious, abrasive talker who gets on my nerves, so I just change stations. If she would slow down some and take a deep breath, I think that she has some good ideas to convey. a little like that loudmouth Chris something from San Francisco. Some one asks him a question and he gives a lecture. What ever happend to Chas Grodin. Now there was a gentleman and talent. Sort of like Tony Randall. Wish there were more like those two.

lmao i googled Rita Cosby Voice and found this site too funny my dog barks at the tv when she talks! no joke!

I have been covering the Holloway case since day one - and with this case Rita represents what is wrong with cable news shows. On topic after topic, rather than report this case factually, she takes rumor and lies and repetes them over and over in her disgusting voice - thus people (idiots mostly) believe what has been said is the truth. If she comes on one more time and say "breaking news" I know my tv is going to get smashed. What she actually knows about this case you could maybe put on a pinhead and that would be stretching it. She is disgusting, and unappealing and worse stuck on stupid!

Like others, I Googled "Rita Cosby's voice is irritating" and this site came up. Seriously, how does someone with a voice like that get a job in television? Oddly, I live in Charlotte, where she worked as a reporter for the CBS affilliate (WBTV) and don't recall her. Could it be my subconsious trying to save me the pain of remembering her horrific voice?

Please someone tell this woman to get another job.i hurt alover when i hear her talk,she seems to be out of air after one word comes out,i agree with another person,she must have give someone a BJ to get on TV.

OMG. I trip over my own thoughts just to get to the remote and get her off. MSNBC really shows poor judgement by giving her the job. Surely there must be someone better and more appealing. I cant stand to listen to her and I can tell u that there is no other news person on TV or Radio that sounds this bad. This woman has the most annoying voice that I've ever heard. Its quiet disgusting and I start to get sick if I listen to her more than few seconds. PLEASE MSNBC, get her of the air and let Bill Clinton give her a job. It wont be sexual.

Why is this lady on TV? The management at MSNBC !!! Can't they hear the way she sounds? Does she have a cold or what? I watched a couple of times and can't stand her voice.

Your current obsession with the alleged killer of that young woman in New York is disgraceful. Who appointed you to hold a treial on the air. You.ve got that waco Rits crosby running around trying to dig up dirt on this guy. your not a serious news show but some pathetic attempt to entertain. I wont watch this show...ever I made a mistake a gave you one star. THE SHOW SUCKS

Get this woman to a SPEECH PATHOLOGIST and fast. I know MSNBC can afford it.

god! why is this woman on TV? I find myself gulping for air when she speaks....it seems so damn painful for her to breathe and talk at the same time! oh..and the insights this chick has...NOT.

Rita is AWFUL!! Horrible rspy voice, poorly thought out questions. I used to enjoy MSNBC before she signed on.

This lady's voice is like fingernails on a chaulkboard! I feel sorry for her or whoever placed her in that position. She must have a deviated septum and clogged sinuses. I sit there hoping she will cough up a fur ball.

She is like a car wreck, that you have to keep watching. I was obsessed with Nancy Grace, but I think I have to start watching Rita more.
