Jimmah, THIS IS NOT ABOUT BEING ATTRACTIVE!

That is not the issue at all.

The issue is that they dress in a certain way that is more extreme than other networks to use sex to sell their propaganda.

I don’t watch the BBC. Perhaps the BBC has their women sitting on couches in micro minis, so that they are always clearly showing a lot of leg and in danger of a crotch shot. Perhaps the BBC does this as well. IF so, that is wrong too. But they don’t do that on CNN or MSNBC or any of the major networks here.

Are these women sluts? Are they pushing their sexuality right in your face? Here in Britain they are highly respected broadcasters, especially the last two, who appear to be broadcasting while wearing - gasp - miniskirts.

The miniskirt has been around for a long time now and isn’t the badge of sluttishness that you seem to think.
