On The Bill Press Show, Media Matters' Katie Sullivan Runs Down The Worst Of Fox News Sexism In 2015

Sullivan: “My Personal Favorite Is The Panel Of Men Debating Whether They Were 'Comfortable With The Women In Their Lives Parading In Public In Leggings'”

From the December 23 edition of TawkrTV's The Bill Press Show:

KATIE SULLIVAN: My personal favorite is the panel of men debating whether they were “comfortable with the women in their lives parading in public in leggings.” 

BILL PRESS (HOST): And where was this?

SULLIVAN: This was on Fox's flagship morning show, Fox & Friends

PRESS: Oh, yes.

SULLIVAN: Yes, which that is not the only instance of Fox & Friends on this list.

PRESS: How could it be sexist? They have a woman on the show! It couldn't possibly be sexist, right?

SULLIVAN: Well the only women in that segment were the models who were coming and parading in front of the panel of men, so that the men could judge whether their outfits were appropriate or not.

PRESS: Oh. And so this was Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy, right? Is that --

SULLIVAN: Steve Doocy was the one hosting this segment.

[...]

SULLIVAN: Yeah, but we also have a Kilmeade one on this list where he was surprised that Victoria's Secret models are so conversant. Because normally he struggles to have conversations with supermodels.

PRESS: He was surprised that they really, they could read and write, maybe or whatever? Or they could --

SULLIVAN: Well, that they could hold an intelligent conversation -- that's just astonishing. So those two definitely made their appearances on this list.

[...]

PRESS: The idea that people in this day and age still people could make comments like that.
