Weather reporter asked to cover up live on air

[left-of-center2012]

Liberté Chan is a weather reporter for KTLA News, and on Saturday she was handed a sweater and asked to cover up in the middle of her broadcast.
When Chan asked why, a voice off-camera simply replied,"We're getting emails."

Not to cause a big commotion, Chan put on the oversized sweater and added a little banter to lighten the mood: "I look like a librarian now."

I don't know what's more concerning. The people offended by the sight of shoulders, or the idiot station manager who buckled to their inane bullshit.

4. Good. It's weird seeing men on tv news in business suits, and women looking like

they're dressed to go clubbing. In winter, men in business suits and women in sleeveless blouses. I always figured the female talent were instructed by management to dress to be eye candy. I'm glad they're getting complaints from viewers.

This is beyond offensive, belittling, embarrassing and sexist.
