Palin Look-Alike TV Anchor Gets Hate Mail

Tuesday, September 23, 2008
A news anchor at a FOX affiliate in Maine has received “hate mail and nasty phone calls” from viewers who think she bears a striking resemblance to the Republican vice presidential nominee.
Cindy Michaels, a newscaster from FOX affiliate WVII-TV in Bangor, wears her hair up in a similar style to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and sometimes wears glasses.
“Since the day that McCain announced that Sarah Palin was his running mate, I had friends and family tell me that I look like her,” she said. “I don’t think I look like her, I think I look like me.”
Viewers have noticed the similarity, and Michaels has received phone calls from viewers that have gone from unflattering to just plain harsh.
“You’re so much more interesting and so much nicer than Sarah Palin,” one woman said. “We hope you don’t keep that hairdo. You don’t want to be tarred with that same brush. You know, she’s not coming off really well OK?”
Another claimed she was trying for “a Kmart version of Sarah Palin” because she didn’t wear glasses on the air.
“Maybe they don’t believe in her, maybe they don’t want her as vice president,” Michaels said of the phone calls. “So if they wanted to say something to her maybe they thought well by saying something to Cindy, it’s kind of like saying something to her in their mind.”
Michaels is enjoying her 15 minutes of fame. “Inside Edition” is sending a crew to film her, and “The Ellen Degeneres Show” has contacted her as well, she said Tuesday.
