SoCal FReepers/HRF: Let's C(if we see)BiaS

AT KCAL, IT'S THE BOOBS, STUPID!

When the Lakers are on, KCAL news tries to keep as many of those male viewers as possible. During rating periods (November, February and May), their post Laker sex newscasts have been an embarrassment to many over there. Now that they've added Jackie Johnson as their weather anchor, they now have a double-double big breast threat, when you include veteran implant show-off Mia Lee.

But check how blatant they are with Johnson by comparing these two camera shots of her and anchor David Jackson. They were both part of a promo for the news that was run during Tuesday Night's Laker game.

Notice any difference? Jackson, a far better known quantity in Los Angeles, and who was only on camera for maybe 3 seconds, has his name plastered across his chest. Johnson, who is quite new to town, and who was shown on screen longer than Jackson, has no such graphic identity. Gee, I wonder why? Do you suppose KCAL made a conscious effort not to obscure Johnson's breasts? Do you think it's going to rain again before June?

Ohmigosh I am so glad that it is not just me... you rock for finding that! That shot is from the night we were watching it!

THIS is why they hired her:

Maybe they should hire her friend too.

I wonder if Pat and Sylvia are getting nervous.

Weather diva Jackie Johnson is raising temperatures on the Internet.

The WSVN-Fox 7 morning personality is poised to be named sexiest meteorologist by Playboy.com today.

The website has conducted polls for sexiest sportscaster and sexiest women's basketball star over the past five years, but the response to the ''Mercury Rising'' poll has been so great, editors had to double-check to make sure the site wasn't being hacked.

''We've gotten more than half a million votes in 10 days, which is absolutely incredible considering that we only allow each person to vote once,'' said Rob Walton, senior editor at Playboy.com.

Johnson's warm fronts and high-pressure systems have captivated viewers since she began at WSVN in September 2001 as the morning counterpart to chief meteorologist Bill Kamal.
