Connecticut Residents To Get Less Breasts With Their News

By

Shelly Sindland, a 15 year veteran TV reporter for Connecticut’s Fox 61, has apparently settled her age and gender discrimination claim against the Tribune Company. The settlement followed a win by her against the Tribune and Fox 61/Courant publisher Richard Graziano with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities…Sindland’s complaint claimed editorial policies at the Hartford television station under Graziano’s management encouraged female anchors to wear tight tops on Fridays, which was nicknamed Big Boob Fridays, to boost ratings.

    Good to see Teri Buhl back on the reporting horse. Good, I guess, unless you’re the horse.

    Oh boo hoo. You’re on TV anyway, and they’re referring to Fridays, the half-assed weekday. I’m sure you’ve worn tight tops before. It’s not even mandatory. “Encouraged.” Worse things have happened. Grow up.

    That’s tv news, for goodness sake. Pick a new line of work or bring those jugs to the office.

    Like brainless buxom bubble-headed news readers more than on-air journalists?

    Stick to WTNH, they’ve only got one female journalist anchor left; the rest belong at Hooters, as does their Traffic babe.
