Fox News Viewers Couldn't Handle Megyn Kelly's Bare Shoulders.

[RandySF]

Lots of inappropriate things happened on the third night of the Republican National Convention. Crowds booed Ted Cruz and berated his wife Heidi, who had to be escorted from her seat by security. Conservative radio show host Laura Ingraham threw up what looked a lot like a Nazi salute after her speech. Trump air-kissed his running mate, Mike Pence.

But, amid these happenings that sound like plot points in a Veep episode but are actually real life, here’s what a sizeable portion of Fox News viewers seemed to find scandalous, unacceptable, and deeply inappropriate: Megyn Kelly’s outfit.

Kelly wore a spaghetti strap, V-neck shirt that showed her shoulder and her upper chest.

1. And remember, these are the guys who are afraid of Sharia Law...

Not because they're opposed to the mixing of church and state, but because they don't want the competition...

6. Slut? Why sexual reference? MANY possible negative words/phrases. Why sexual?

That sounds like Don the Con when he called her a Bimbo.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

3. what about the nude pictures of Trump's current wife? Is that true?

What is her background, before marrying Trump?

[RandySF]

4. Underwear model

[underpants]

5. I noticed that. It was unusual for any supposed newscaster. Their headphones though....

Those were another story. Every other network had tucked in earpieces and soft mics. Fox had on full Radar O'Reilly headsets. Maybe they were too close to a speaker.

[Mosby]

7. her top was way to casual for work. nt

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

10. Not in July and not with her figure

[Skittles]

14. I agree

I don't care for this sleeveless fad going on, why is only the women dressed like that? It is unprofessional.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

17. Have you even been in a makeshift TV studio?

They're crazy hot, debilitatingly hot. Hot lights and poor or no ventilation

[DLevine]

21. What does that have to do with dressing professionally?

Other men and women seem to handle the hot lights just fine.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

24. I think the graphic bars are creating a bit of an illusion here...

I work for a legal and accounting firm, that outfit, in July on a woman who's breasts aren't falling out of it would raise no eyebrows.



I really don't care, I haven't watched fifteen minutes of Fox News in the past twenty years. But I guarantee if you asked her who she chose that top she would say because it is ridiculously hot.

[Libby2]

8. But they're okay

with Trump's nude wife.

[Socal31]

9. The only thing that scares some people more than a strong woman...

Is a strong and physically attractive woman.

[athena]

22. Megyn Kelly is not a strong woman.

She's a sell-out. A strong person does not sell her soul to the highest bidder.

[Rex]

11. GOPukers are a jealous and shallow lot, they love turning on their own.

There is just too much real important stuff in the world to worry about something even less than superficial. They can maybe refine their paranoia down to fundamentalist gray and jail each other, on the moon would be nice.

Okay having said that, maybe The Megyn is looking to jump ship. Now that Socknews is in full mutiny, someone else will give her a bigger contract. CNN picked up Trump's Dump to be fair and balanced, maybe they are in the market for a third rate anchor.

[TeamPooka]

12. They want her in a burka? #AmericanTaliban Christians = Muslims #azealotisazealot

[Mike Nelson]

13. I'm confused...

...FOX "News" women are expected to show as much leg as possible. Nobody complains about the mini-skirts. Nobody notes how the men wear full suits - no shorts or shirtless men. Aren't the women expected to show a lot of skin? I thought it was in their FOX contracts?

[Jim Beard]

20. You are exactly right. I was wondering when someone would mention it.

It is Rupert Murdoch road to riches. Rember his Page 2 topless girls in England?

[Mike Nelson]

28. Skin and...

...plenty of female flesh has always been part of the FOX "News" formula.

[DLevine]

15. Unprofessional.

Imagine Tweety wearing a sleeveless shirt at the convention. Having said that, I thought Fox viewers love them some half-nekkid women on their teevees.

[RAFisher]

23. That's what I was thinking.

Just compared to other women like Maddow and O'Donnell she stands out as not looking very professional.

[tblue37]

29. No, imagine Tweety in a mesh shirt. Now, that's a funny pic. nt

[Justice]

16. I wonder if Kelly did it intentionally - given the Ailes accusations.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

18. Yes, lets look for convoluted explanations other than

it is crazy fucking hot under television lights in a makeshift location with poor or no ventilation.

[Justice]

19. Seriously? Chill.

Why did every other woman manage to wear more?

[white_wolf]

25. She looks fine to me.

I thought the dress was actually pretty. To be fair, I mostly work from home so I guess I'm not a good judge of "professional," but it seemed fine to me.

[Eleanors38]

27. Yep. LBDs are not law degrees.

[Uponthegears]

26. Let's make this easy

We can listen to the GOP (and unfortunately others) complain about female broadcast personalities dressing un-professionally right after they start talking about the "professionalism" of the attire of male broadcast personalities.
