Does Alex on MSNBC think she is at the beach? [View all] jodymarie aimee Oct 2017 OP

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

... leftstreet Oct 2017 #26

LMAO. n/t LuckyCharms Oct 2017 #45

You made the OP's point. WinkyDink Oct 2017 #90

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

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

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

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

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
