Busted! We Caught Fox Changing Its Desk To Make Sure You See A Female Anchor’s Legs

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on December 02, 2016 · Flag

It's no secret that Fox always makes sure that its female hosts' legs are given maximum exposure. But we did not realize until recently that Fox would alter the desk on a show depending on the sex of its host.

Our eagle-eyed NewsHound, Richard, noticed the change of desks with the change of hosts while watching Fox Business this week.

For example, on Monday, November 28, 2016, Risk & Reward had a female guest host. There was no front panel on her desk:

Today, there was a male guest host of the same show. It's the same set in the same studio but there's a panel on the front of the desk:

Risk & Reward airs at 5 PM ET. At 9 AM ET, Varney & Co. uses the same studio. Look at the desk for male host, Stuart Varney:

Just in case you thought all the sexism went out the door with Roger Ailes.

Oh, c’mon!!! You’re acting as if Fox “News” invented sexism.

Fox “News” just perfected sexism.

With all my love,
Uncle Headly

Delicious. Somebody please make sure that John Oliver, Bill Maher and the wonderful Mister Colbert are alerted to this.

Don’t know who Pat Caddell is but more of the likes of Shep would be OK. A resounding NO! (make that font 18) to the likes of O’Reilly, Hume, Krauthammer, Varney-of-the-improbable-accent, Bolling, Gutfeld. From what I recall, only Bill Hemmer was physically close to acceptable. But the packaging is not all and he loses miserably against Shep’s twinkingly mischievous eyes.

Hey, that was fun! … Being a “homogynist”, I mean. Problem is I can’t keep it up for more than a few minutes.

Truman re: Pat Caddell. Vomit!

I suppose I’m simply used to the misogyny at Fox News. I’m more interested in the topic they were discussing on the 28th – note how they are continuing to bang the drum about prosecuting the Clintons. This continues to be discussed multiple times a day on different shows across their spectrum, both on Fox News and on Fox Business. This is not an accident and we should understand what it means.

Trump’s Gloat-a-Thon a couple of nights ago featured a chilling moment of the entire crowd screaming and chanting “LOCK HER UP!” while the new President-elect stood there grinning and enjoying the viciousness. Anyone who thinks that Jeff Sessions will not be working as a priority to indict the Clintons and everyone around them is fooling themselves, to be frank.

Never, never underestimate the hate these people have for Democrats, and for the Clintons in specific.

Did Roger Ailes leave behind written down misogynistic instructions for how things should go if he is gone? Or is Bill Shine enough of a misogynist himself that he can throw away the script?

Coming to Faux, chairs with stirrups.

@eof. I was thinking more along the lines of Pat Caddell in a thong.

Sex sells.

It’s just bidness. If they feel this will retain viewers, and viewers mean ratings, and ratings mean ad revenue rates, they’ll do it.
It’s not obscene, but it is pandering, which ain’t no crime. It’s just bidness.

Well, might I suggest Fox News move Shep Smith back to prime time in a Speedo based on an informal poll of comments here at Newshounds. ;^)

Ladies, ladies, LADIES!!!!
Now, just stop all that crazy talk!!
None of us here should be subjected to a view of Varney’s ‘package’! Besides, these are Reich wingers…ain’t nothing there anyway.

And I won’t protest if they wear scanty short pants (or whatever a male version of the bikini is, nowadays) made of cloth like the flag. I’ll even coo and slobber about how patriot they are.

Actually, no. Because I’m not a Trumplican and that makes it impossible for me to take such tricks as a side-dish of my main course of news.

I’m with Antoinette on this one. As a little old lady, I’d like Fox to replace the disgusting old fogies with some handsome young studs able to flash nicely turned legs, biceps, frontsides and backsides.

We want to see the men’s legs!! Except for Billy’s and Grandpa Hannocchio. They have funny legs.

Pathetic pandering to old men like Bildo O’Reilly
