what's the deal with S.E. Cupp's backless dress today?

[grasswire]

The camera pans around to show the co-anchors on MSNBC's "The Cycle".

Hey! S.E. Cupp's black dress is mostly backless to the waist!

Who would wear a provocative outfit to appear on a news commentary program?

What the hey? Must all conservative women on TV trade on their sexuality?

[grasswire]

1. note: this is mid-day programming. nt

5. At what time do you consider backs appropriate for TV viewers? n/t

[chillfactor]

12. I cannot stand Cupp...

regardless of what she is wearing.....

[cali]

2. thanks for this bit of inane crap. why do women always get critiqued for

their hair, makeup and clothing in this craptastic manner?

[grasswire]

6. Honestly...

....maybe it's because men don't usually dress in sexually provocative ways in professional situations, but conservative women in the public eye seem to do so?

17. There was an article about this. About the stylists on FOX News

It isn't an accident. It is intended to pander to the LCD.

[grasswire]

18. LCD?

hmm.

[redqueen]

21. Lowest common denominator.

An audience interested in "infotainment" rather than information.

[grasswire]

22. oh duh.....thanks.

I was thinking it was a label of some kind similar to Low Information Voter.

[Cali_Democrat]

25. Them too

[Agschmid]

27. FYI

Some of us find a nicely pressed suit, colorful shirt, and strongly patterned tie to be just as sexy as a backless dress.

One time walking around DC I almost died... gorgeous (though most likely sleazy-ish) men were everywhere.

7. Cause women are their own worst enemies.

can you imagine what we all could do collectively if we could just get over our cattyness?

[FSogol]

8. Yeah, no one ever complains when Matt Lauer wears a backless shirt.

[Champion Jack]

28. I just wish he'd put a bag over his head and take a vow of silence

[RebelOne]

30. Thank you. That was also my thought exactly. n/t

[Tikki]

3. Maybe she stayed over somewhere last night...

Tikki

[zappaman]

4. Librarian porn!!!! n/t

[bluedigger]

9. What was Toure wearing?

And why should I care as long as there wasn't an FCC violation?

[L0oniX]

10. The Naked News ...we're only a step away! Well ...there's already is such a thing. n/t

[Fawke Em]

32. Not too much longer:

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. I hate to say it...who cares?

Serious.

[AlinPA]

13. I thought showbiz posts are on the exceptions list on GD. (1st post in GD discussion).

[Generation_Why]

14. She's a very attractive woman. nt

[Champion Jack]

29. Till she opens her mouth...

[olddots]

15. I think the observation makes a valid point

Its not catty or sexist .

The show is bad ,its a rerun of Morning Blow Hard where the steady cam operator circles round the talking heads trying to create some
show bizz pizazz .At Any moment the 21st. century "Kennedy" remake will take off her glasses toss her hair as the romantic muzak builds up to a climax and speak her scripted drivel .

[grasswire]

16. I guess my point was muffled.

S.E. Cupp already had/has a credibility problem with many MSNBC viewers, for what comes out of her mouth.

This is what conservative women on TV do. They can't get ratings for their drivel, so they go bare.

This is not a criticism of women who go bare on television. It's a criticism of women who go bare (unprofessional) on news shows.

[redqueen]

19. What people don't realize is it is the policy of FOX to sexualize the women.

So they're defending the policy and the stylists, really. Criticism of them, I would not call "catty".

[REP]

23. Here's a very good take on Fox's stylists

[spanone]

20. backless, mindless, what the diff?

[PCIntern]

24. "This thread is useless without pictures." nt

[TheBlackAdder]

26. Perhaps she's trying to compete with the TODAY SHOW'S UPSKIRT CAM?

[TeamPooka]

31. I don't care what she wears, it's her mind that offends me. nt
