Fox Anchor: "Here At Fox, We Like To Be Feminine. So We Don't Wear The Pants"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

TVNewser has a great catch from Sunday's Fox & Friends: anchor Ainsley Earhardt explaining then Fox News ideology when it comes to the pantsuits vs. skirts divide: "Here at Fox, we like to be feminine. So we don't wear the pants."

1. Probably don't wear panties, either.

[Justyce]

2. Does that go for the men too?

[Echo In Light]

3. Funny how this mindset is used simultaneously as submissiveness to {male} authority, and...

An ideological leverage tool i.e. the loaded framing of "would you like us to wear pants?" Those nutty authoritarians...

[TomClash]

4. That's not feminine clothing

That's Barnfrau wear. She'd be better off in a potato sack.

. . . like women aren't hot in jeans . . . :eyes:

5. "THE pants"??? Who the hell says, "THE pants?"

15. As in "who wears the pants in that family"

I think that they are stating that the boys are in control over at Faux.

[Botany]

6. No you don't wear "the pants" because Ruppert sells T. & A.

To help distract from the right wing propaganda that is being
pushed 24/7. They are pg. 3 girls.

Pg. 3 Girls From Wiki

A Page Three girl is a topless female model whose photographs are published on the third page of The Sun newspaper. In newspaper layout, the third page is directly behind the cover, with page two being on the left-hand side of an open spread. Although the women are sometimes nude, full frontal nudity is never featured. Similar features exist in other newspapers around the world.

The Page Three girl was introduced in 1969 when Rupert Murdoch relaunched The Sun. The Page Three girl was topless for the first time on November 17, 1970, when editor Larry Lamb unveiled the change while Murdoch was out of the country.

7. Why isn't that anchor

at home, barefoot and pregnant, while a man does the "news?"

:puke:

[KharmaTrain]

8. Now Did They Ask About Kneepads?

Nope...they sure didn't need pants to get their job at Faux. I have this visual of Roger Ailes chasing some PYT around his office couch...pants danging around his bloated ankles with a bottle of paroxide in one hand and a Faux contract in the other.

:rofl:

[MuseRider]

9. "THE" pants?

Now I have "THE" diarrhea.

Good LORD! Where do they find these people?

[theboss]

10. That'a s nice looking lady

That is all.

[baldguy]

11. Well then...

She ought to get a new wardrobe.







Basic black




Fresh yellow




Stylish blue




Medical green (for the educated professional)




Clean Ultra white




And for the Patriotic Woman -

12. Skirt or no skirt, there is nothing sexy about Right Wingers!

FOX can hire all the leggy spokesmodels they want, but these people have sold their souls. That's not sexy to me.

[ProgressiveFool]

13. Oddly enough, I thought that was Billo's latest pickup line /nt

[PA Democrat]

14. They wear SHORT skirts. That is more "feminine" I guess.

Lots of very shiny lip gloss, tight sweaters, short skirts and high heels. Is that what passes for "feminine"? Whatever. No wonder Bill O'Reilly likes working at FOX.

[Johonny]

16. I wonder how low their ratings get before

they show up nude on the set.
