Quote for the Day:

This pattern was even more prevalent at local news stations. "Most of the male-female co-anchors on local TV," Marlene Sanders observed, "resemble most men's second marriages." In the most celebrated dismissal of a local female news anchor, Christine Craft of Metromedia's KMBC-TV in Kansas was demoted to reporter in 1982 because she was deemed "too old, too unattractive, and not sufficiently deferential to men." When a jury ruled in her favor in a later court case, the judge simply threw out the jury's verdict, and then tongue-lashed Craft for her "apparent indifference to matters of appearance."

1. I remember her case all too well

She looked just fine, she just didn't look like a side piece, to put it crudely. Her demeanor was professional, men thought she should have been flirty and giggly.

She sued, she won, and the appellate court overturned her win. The USSC declined to hear her case. Kept a lot of us pissed off all through the 80s, like Reagan alone wouldn't have accomplished that.

Craft went on from there by attending law school and still practices employment law. She has also hosted radio.

I'm glad to say things have changed for most female newscasters. Juvenile males of all ages went to Pox because we know how they treat women there.
