Discussion: Weather Anchor Given Sweater To Cover Up In Middle Of Broadcast

She should of shimmied out of her panties and thrown them back —

Stupid story…looks like filler material as it has been everywhere else. Her dress looked fine btw. They didn’t have to offer her a coverup while on air imo unless there was some kind of weird dress code she was made to adhere to as an employee…which I seriously doubt.

The early days of TV broadcasting by weathermen like Sonny Elliot in Detroit (one of the earliest weathermen in the country on local news) also wouldn’t be tolerated today even though it has nothing to do with gender or what he’s wearing. This is what I grew up watching for weather reports when I was a kid…

People who do the weather have always been somewhat of a joke since I was young…that is until we all started to care more about the local impact of tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, snowstorms, volcanoes, forest fires, riptides, erosion, the health of NOAA, and the state of the planet. Now…its all serious bizness, no longer show bizness. Now we want our weather without any funny business whatsoever, and not as a form of entertainment. I think we can all see George Carlin probably laughing from his grave…

I’d say she’s more attractive than Ivanka Trump but Monday is a lousy day to become ensarled in a Twitter war.

They got a lot of emails? They got a lot of emails?? They got a lot of emails???

TV stations are always trying to get noticed! They should be jumping up and down for joy.

Oh for goddess sake. If it of was inappropriate, management should deal with it in private. Handing her a sweater was ridiculous.

Wow, LA local news has managed to up the vapid level…up next, chopper coverage of police chases in sweaters!

They couldn’t find the dimmer switch.

Perhaps it was chilly in the studio–was the turkey done?

Show could use a zombie or two…

Panties?

Another classic example of media kowtowing to right-wing moralists thinking dirty thoughts. The producer or director who decided she has to be given a sweater ought to be made public. Just as the idiot who accused the economics professor who was writing equations on the plane. In both cases, the victims are publicized but the idiots get to hide anonymously thanks to the “liberal” (yeah right!) media.

Helicopter blades are so arousing. They really should put sweaters on those things!

Oh … optional I guess —

Pasties ? ?

Perhaps she should have been asked to wear a burka …

Meh…I’m fresh out of outrage today. I wouldn’t call it body shaming because she obviously has nothing to be ashamed of. If it was “hey, that’s not quite appropriate attire on the air in the morning,” then it could’ve been handled better, and employers have the right to raise those issues without being called sexist, etc. If anything, the manner in which it was handled is the only thing that raises that particular issue here.

She says it was a joke though, so whatevs. It’s her job, her life, her decision what to question or tolerate, so I’m pretty sure that people should just shut up about it and not annoy me with such a stupid story. Plus, it’s LA. A more vacuous and mindless cultural toilet doesn’t exist on this planet except maybe at the Faux News studios.

I could have been worse. She could’ve mentioned “hail the size of canned hams” and been fired.

If she were on Fox News and didn’t wear a dress like that, she’d be fired.

Oh, I don’t know. I think when KTVU read a bunch of obviously racist faux-Chinese names of the flight crew of the jet that crashed in San Francisco a couple of years ago kind of takes the cake.
