Brian Kilmeade: Fox Hires Female Anchors From Victoria's Secret Catalogue

Yesterday, on his radio show, Kilmeade and Friends, Brian Kilmeade "explained" how the "women of Fox" get hired. In shades of "binders full of women," Kilmeade said, "We go into the Victoria's Secret catalogue and we said, 'Can any of these people talk?'"

Co-hosts Kilmeade and Alisyn Camerota spoke to a caller who said, "You and all the women of Fox, I don't know who was the scout that got you guys, but they rock."

Camerota thanked the caller and said, "It was Brian."

Kilmeade said, "It was actually, we go into the Victoria's Secret catalogue and we said can any of these people talk? …And they all could, and they all went to college."

Camerota said affectionately, "You're so crazy, Brian."

Kilmeade said, "I am not crazy."

We beg to differ. Media Matters has documented a history of sexist comments from Kilmeade.

Even with an IQ around 70, Killmeade still has a radio show??

I thought that the Fux Noise blond bimbo anchorettes were drafted from the Swedish Bikini
Team.

Honestly? If this mentality in hiring doesn’t explain Jenna Lee, I don’t know what will.

For an entertainment network, picking pretty women faces is probably the number one priority. So why are all the men so ORDINARY looking. LOL Fox seems to have the same casting priorities as porn movies-beautiful women with slightly-below average men.

And MSNBC just goes for the Rhodes Scholars. Go figure.

We have Republican/Fox News lovers over to watch football (it’s a family thing, what are you gonna do?). Upon seeing this story one of them quipped “Well, I’ll take that over CNN. They hire from the Lane Bryant catalog.”

I asked him to remind me again who won the election. Now there is silence.

(Ironically there is a Victoria’s Secret banner ad above the story.)

Talk about aiming high! My guess was that roadies picked them out at a billy idol concert….talking not a prerequisite.

Roger Ailes knows how to pick ’em.

We will make this short and sweet. The untalented Kilmeade could not anchor a sinking ship.
