An experienced TV weatherman has sued CBS broadcasting for sex and age discrimination claiming his job applications were ignored purely because he isn't a 20-somthing and female.
Hunter, who has been a weatherman for Fox5 in San Diego, sued the broadcasting giant in Los Angeles last week.
However CBS claims Kyle Hunter's complaint is frivolous and based on gross misstatements of fact and say they will vigorously defend themselves in court.
Hunter argues that his gender and age kept him from getting on-air weather jobs at CBS stations KCBS and KCAL despite his meteorology degree and years of experience.
According to the lawsuit, Hunter, who is over the age of 40, is seeking 'unspecified' damages.
He alleges that the CBS stations favour young, attractive women to induce more men to watch their prime-time newscasts.

Funny stuff.
Ya ever seen a car commercial on the Hispanic channels?
They got women out there in string bikinis and micro skirts, tube tops, bending over the hoods, pole dancing in the beds of pickups etc.
It's just a hoot.

I like the current weather babe on Fox 5 San Diego. Aloha Taylor is a former Miss Hawaii. She is better looking than Kyle Hunter and she has a degree in meteorolgy.

Remember the good ol' days?
SUBSTANCE OVER STYLE made America great.. STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE creates a dysfunctional workplace and thwarts America's progress. It also got 0bama elected.
