Requiring photos was held to be inherent racism years ago!

Gee, I wonder if that’s why MSNBC hired Ashleigh Banshee that number of years back, eh?

I’m shocked! Liberal hypocrisy? Not practicing what they preach? Judge by the content of one’s character, not one’s skin?

Shocked, I tell you!

Yea, and I remember when the MSM made a big deal over Rush collecting pictures of his female listeners.

I guess what comes around . . .

When you send in your resume for a job a photo is usually required also..

You mean to tell me those networks want only good looking people in front of their cameras?
OH! The shame of it all!
Where is the justice for ugly people?
This kind of attitude must be rectified!

Hiring for good looks is acceptable for on-screen jobs, but support staff shouldn’t have to be supermodels. Since they did hire her for the behind-camera job, she has no basis for that part of her case. For the harassment, she might.

What I object to is that those hateful bigots at the networks. Don’t hire enough men with high nasal voices or women with gravelly voices that slur.

The big haters.
