I tuned in once but tuned out as soon as I saw Mika's demeaner -constantly deferred to the "man's" opinions and was simply chair candy. I was embarassed for her and for all women.

They are not "news anchors." Not even close. MADem Sep 2012 #120
True. We should adopt the British term for them... Fawke Em Sep 2012 #123
They aren't even readers or presenters--they usually cut away to someone else who delivers the MADem Sep 2012 #127

Wrong. MadrasT Sep 2012 #78
WTF does sexuality have to do w/essential journalism, anyway? closeupready Sep 2012 #85
Neither Mika nor Joe are journalists--that's what people aren't getting, here. MADem Sep 2012 #122
Mika was a CBS News correspondent early in her career. closeupready Sep 2012 #125
Barbara Walters used to give us the nightly news, too--but that's not what she does on THE VIEW. MADem Sep 2012 #126
Wow. Also, I don't dislike Joe. tjdee Sep 2012 #96
I was using the words of the person I responded to. berni_mccoy Sep 2012 #101

Mika has done things like that more than once. MineralMan Sep 2012 #66

I was using the term loosely. It has MineralMan Sep 2012 #132
Journalists do not "opine" in the course of delivering the news of the evening (or the morning). MADem Sep 2012 #134

The only people calling her names & diminishing her worth are the ones "outraged" by the picture. Warren DeMontague Sep 2012 #81
Not quite. MadrasT Sep 2012 #86
Certainly. But I think it's reprehensible to call a woman names or diminish her worth Warren DeMontague Sep 2012 #90
I don't see much in the way of name calling here. MadrasT Sep 2012 #105
Isn't there an element of irony in pillorying someone for something on the obstensible grounds Warren DeMontague Sep 2012 #114
Sure, I can see irony there. n/t MadrasT Sep 2012 #116
Do you think it's right to label women "airheads" 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #98
No I don't think that's right. I don't think we should call people names. MadrasT Sep 2012 #107
Ok but phrases like air-head, tart, grotesque, saying that she can't be taken seriously 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #108
I know it's awful to say, but ... she DOES look pretty hot ... Bake Sep 2012 #82
Not really. She's old now and a bit plump. closeupready Sep 2012 #87
Plump? What do you like, skeletons? n/t Cleita Sep 2012 #94

Profoundly silly photo, IMO. hifiguy Sep 2012 #110
She looks really good and works very hard to keep herself up. Thinkingabout Sep 2012 #115
That's all she's good for and that's all that conservative men think we women are good for. Liberal_Stalwart71 Sep 2012 #133
Good thing that in these dire times progressives of all stripes can come together and give some slut 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #140
