'Just fed up w objectification of women in media'

A sports writer and New York Times best-selling author named Jeff Pearlman was pushed into a quasi-apology after saying, via Twitter, Fox News female correspondents dressed as "hookers," per order of their bosses.

He posted, alongside a photo of the female crew of Fox's well-watched "Outnumbered" this text: "Serious question: do women on Fox News get extra money for dressing as hookers? Just embarrassing."

In another tweet, Pearlman wrote: "Just fed up w objectification of women in media. It's tired, old, widespread, not cool. #done."

As Mediaite found, another named Steve Krakauer, @SteveKrak, weighed in with criticism: "@jeffpearlman Calling journalists 'hookers' is precisely the objectification of women you're talking about."

And Pearlman's response: "@SteveKrak Steve, I did NOT call the women hookers. I said Fox News has its women dress like them. Which it does. Degrades women journalists."

It wasn't long before another jumped in the fray, asking "@jeffpearlman a skirt makes you a hooker? thats the equivalent of calling you a lifeguard if you wear a red bathing suit," Mediaite found.

Pearlman said his only point was to out the network for "treat[ing] women like objects," which he said via tweet was "a disgrace to legit women reporters."

He went on, in another Twitter post: "Let me re-phrase: are tons of women journalists busting asses w skill, doggedness, professionalism. Fox News CLEARLY after looks, wardrobe."

Ultimately, Pearlman retreated a bit.

He wrote: "Ok, I admit, bad Tweet, removed. I just really object to Fox News' approach. But that's not the on-air person's fault."

Typical libtards - can’t say anything worth while so they have to stoop to gutter language.

He’s just jealous because he knows he would never get the time of day from anyone of them.

“women journalists busting asses w skill, doggedness”

“Women”, “bust”, “ass”, “dog” all in one short sentence. This guy needs to be banned for life by the PC Police.

In others words, I'm a libtard and I hate that FOX is always number 1.

OK, now he's done it!

I don't personally know how hookers dress, but the FOXNEWS gals seem to dress in the latest New York/cosmopolitan styles.

As a man, I only watch FOX for the hard news anyway:-)
