What's up with Rita Cosby's voice?

by Bob Sassone, posted Jan 30th 2007 3:31PM

Rita CosbyI haven't seen Rita Cosby on MSNBC in several weeks. Not that I've really noticed, because I try to avoid her whenever possible. It's the voice. Yeah, sorry, no offense, but I just can't stand listening to her raspy voice. But now the NY Post is reporting that, after a three week vacation, the rasp is gone!

Supposedly, the three week break was an "enforced" vacation, and besides the rest that she got, Cosby won't go into details on what she did to change her voice. I'm assuming she didn't go through puberty, like that episode of The Brady Bunch where Peter's voice changed.

Can any TV Squad readers confirm this? I'm going to check MSNBC to see if she's on today.

hehehe...too bad for you men who actually liked her, she is gone from MSNBC....I wish her and her "voice" well, wherever she ends up.

Some people have a sensitivity to sounds that goes beyond jealousy...it just grates on the nerves and has nothing to do with anything else. I can't tell you how many times I switched the channel as soon as she came on.

I would just like to comment about ritas voice...I find her voice very sexy, as well as her looks.....These people that are complaining are nothing but jealous housewives, and feminists.....Whats happening is, everytime a housewife comes across rita on television, they cant bear the fact that their husbands want to hear and look at her....This drives them nuts.
I bet i can speak for almost every man that has ever seen or heard her voice............Get a grip ladies, and complain about someone or something different!!!!

I think Rita is a wonderful reporter, her voice did bother me, and she has finally done something about that. I think all of you who are such fans of Olberman are just like him, really nasty people. He once said of Rita "she is dumber than a suitcase of rocks". She is not, & for him to say something like that about a person he works with is horrible, I wouldn't want him for a friend, he IS an enemy!

I don't know, Dave. Do YOU ever read what YOU write? And, don't flame me. Just read your post. Practice what you preach, as they say.

I'm so happy the voice issue was raised...I thought I was the only one who wanted to poke out my ear drums when Rita Cosby spoke. I like MSNBC (beats the Bush channel FOX & the yawn channel CNN) Keith Olberman is key, love Chris Matthews (even the lisp) and find Pat Buchanan amusing (daily on Scarborough) They need to send Rita on assignment....indefinitely

Rita Cosby truly has the most annoying voice on television and sounds like she has a perpetual 'sore throat' and you feel like you want to pass her a Hall's through the screen everytime she comes on -

Unfortunately, everybody, I just heard her on MSNBC and the very irritating voice is back.

I remember watching her on Fox News and here voice being tolerable. When she started on MSNBC I wondered if it was a joke. Nobody could stand that. By the way Keith Olbermann's show is the only reason to watch MSNBC.
