Shannon Bream Profile…
Liberty Journal’s Teresa Dunham profiles FNC’s Shannon Bream…
One day she met Brit Hume, who was managing editor of the FOX bureau in D.C. at the time — and she and her husband, Sheldon Bream (’93), both told Hume that working for FOX was her dream. Telling her not to get her hopes up, Hume explained that he received lots of tapes every day, but her law background caught his attention.
She sent him a sample of her work — and since November 2007 she’s been in the FOX bureau.
“I came here and started what really is for me a dream job,” she said.
Spreading the NewsFor Bream, no two days are ever the same at FOX News.
“I usually find out the day before or the night before what my assignment will be for the day,” she said.
When a significant case is before the court, she’s there observing the arguments of brilliant legal minds — but when court isn’t in session, she could be assigned to anything, and the hours tend to vary.
“Some days I’m at the White House. Some days I’m on Capitol Hill. It is literally so different every day that I can go days without ever being at this desk because I’m out on assignment somewhere,” she said, motioning toward her work area adorned only with a “Nacho Libre” poster. “It’s always a challenge, and you’re learning a new subject or a new topic every day.”

Shannon is a good correpondent … not a great one … but better than most who call themselves a correspondent. I did see her co anchor something recently on Fox (I think it was America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer) and I thought she was weak as an anchor, but that may be due to lack of experience in that area.

She is much better than when she first started. She seems very knowledgeable. I like her.

I enjoy her reports, she’s professional, and so good looking. I hate to say that because some may use it to diminish her considerable talents but I’m only posting once, will take the risk.
