Unprofessional..n/t monmouth4 Oct 2017 #1
Actually, it IS a "professional" look for women cable anchors these days. Hortensis Oct 2017 #44
Just look at Pox Noise. calimary Oct 2017 #53
Oh, really? Poor dear. CNN and MSNBC are both trying to be more "poxy" Hortensis Oct 2017 #87
Alex doesn't appear to be revealing any more than the Twitt, RNC Spokesperson Kayleigh Mcenany is politicaljunkie41910 Oct 2017 #162
Professional as in "pro" I guess. ananda Oct 2017 #91
Won't go there. We'd all be pros if conforming to required appearances were the definition. Hortensis Oct 2017 #98
Really? cwydro Oct 2017 #161
Man, and here I thought provincialism was more aligned with conservatives. TheBlackAdder Oct 2017 #163
Not for NBC's Entertainment Tonight rocktivity Oct 2017 #157
It's RIDICULOUS. I mean, what the freak?! WinkyDink Oct 2017 #2
I thought she looked like left over from Saturday night..forgot to change her asiliveandbreathe Oct 2017 #3
Someone made the "walk of shame" directly to work.... AJT Oct 2017 #8
No one would say that about a male anchor. RandySF Oct 2017 #155
If he were wearing a roughed up tux people would know.....it would be embarrassing. AJT Oct 2017 #156
She looks sexy. woolldog Oct 2017 #4
"Sexy" is not professional or appropriate for a news anchor. The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2017 #6
You got all of that from "she looks sexy"? BannonsLiver Oct 2017 #13
Yes, actually. The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2017 #33
yeah I don't don't shame women based on their looks. BannonsLiver Oct 2017 #36
It's not slut-shaming. Nobody is accusing her of looking slutty. The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2017 #42
Fair enough. I'm not sure I agree in this particular case. But that's a thoughtful response. BannonsLiver Oct 2017 #51
See reply #10. It literally shouts 'shame!' at her and calls her dress 'slutty' (nt) muriel_volestrangler Oct 2017 #114
Well said, thank you question everything Oct 2017 #115
Clothes are not part of the term "looks." Looks are not usually WinkyDink Oct 2017 #92
Yeah, actually they are but thanks for the input. BannonsLiver Oct 2017 #111
Yeah, no. "Looks," plural, is not the same as "a look" or "appearance." See: WinkyDink Oct 2017 #118
and Oh My, did anyone mention that to the faux noise women?? a kennedy Oct 2017 #54
No point to that, I should think. WinkyDink Oct 2017 #93
Just wondering here - are you male, by any chance? calimary Oct 2017 #12
Oh! Look at her! She's hot! tenderfoot Oct 2017 #14

That was a bit much. The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2017 #5
In the mid-seventies marybourg Oct 2017 #84
Without being too specific, what's she wearing? Orrex Oct 2017 #7
She's in-studio, in the anchor chair, and all you see is bare skin from the chest up. calimary Oct 2017 #15
I'm sure that Bill Hemmer will wear the same outfit in his next segment. Orrex Oct 2017 #17
You'll be alright. I promise. BannonsLiver Oct 2017 #22
The patronizing can stop. RIGHT NOW. Thank you very much. calimary Oct 2017 #28
LOL BannonsLiver Oct 2017 #29
I wish someone would post a pic. cwydro Oct 2017 #24
It's called the "cold shoulder" look, doesn't look comfortable or warm enough: Rhiannon12866 Oct 2017 #68
They're Called Cold Shoulder Tops Me. Oct 2017 #37
The dress Megyn Kelly wore for her Putin interview was also inappropriate as heck: tblue37 Oct 2017 #63

Can't wait for Roy Clark to bust out a solo on the fiddle! (nt) Orrex Oct 2017 #47
You are showing your age there; Roy died 25 years ago. comradebillyboy Oct 2017 #77
Not if we believe. Orrex Oct 2017 #78
Supposably. Iggo Oct 2017 #105
Roy's still here Zorro Oct 2017 #158
Yup. 84. Not dead. TexasBushwhacker Oct 2017 #159
my mistake comradebillyboy Oct 2017 #168
Orrex jodymarie aimee Oct 2017 #148
Well, that is a bit jarring, but I guess she gets to choose what she wants to wear. cwydro Oct 2017 #49
That's it? melman Oct 2017 #113
THAT is what all the fuss is about? phleshdef Oct 2017 #129

The moment she came on the air, madaboutharry Oct 2017 #9
Personal opinion here - but this cold-shoulder look is ridiculous spiderpig Oct 2017 #140
I noticed that immediately. SHAME on her! I tweeted about that to her. calimary Oct 2017 #10
You've got to be kidding with this melman Oct 2017 #121
Lots of Judgy McJudgersons on this thread. BannonsLiver Oct 2017 #11
I don't think pointing out a fact is being judgy. madaboutharry Oct 2017 #21
I do. And if a male started the discussion there would be hell to pay. BannonsLiver Oct 2017 #23
I disagree. madaboutharry Oct 2017 #30
Hogwash. procon Oct 2017 #59

Alex Witt? yallerdawg Oct 2017 #19
"Modest" is HARDLY the word for it. calimary Oct 2017 #41
Her shoulders are exposed? yallerdawg Oct 2017 #57
Neither she nor Alex have the kind of bodies to show off their goods. MoonRiver Oct 2017 #67
I think they are both spectacularly beautiful women! yallerdawg Oct 2017 #72
I don't care either. MoonRiver Oct 2017 #73
That's some sexist bullshit right there. phleshdef Oct 2017 #130
I think the worsd that people are struggling for is "casual" Dreamer Tatum Oct 2017 #20
Casual, not professional. Not a credible anchor look. I prefer Rachel Maddow's look. Professional SharonAnn Oct 2017 #25
She's not credible no matter what she's wearing. onecaliberal Oct 2017 #32
I cant get MSNBC right now. Pic? Anyone? cwydro Oct 2017 #27
It's really a whole lot of nothing BannonsLiver Oct 2017 #31

I didn't see it on TV, but judging by the pic of her in this thread... LuckyCharms Oct 2017 #52
You'd think she was wearing a thong from some of the reactions. BannonsLiver Oct 2017 #62
Jesus H christ, Are we adults here, Is this 2017? Old Vet Oct 2017 #56
Yes, and that's the whole gist of the criticisms. procon Oct 2017 #71

I agree with you. She is wearing the current fashion I think. wasupaloopa Oct 2017 #88
Yeah, I'd find your comment credible if I didn't think you would NOT be okay with, say, Melania WinkyDink Oct 2017 #96
Why would someone not be OK with Melania wearing that? muriel_volestrangler Oct 2017 #126
Do we know each other? Last I looked Melanoma has worn MUCH less than that... WoonTars Oct 2017 #141
