Does anyone else think this is over the top?

I had Fox on muted today so I could see from the crawl what their take was on various stories. They flashed this view of the panel on their morning show about every minute or two. It just seemed so blatantly stereotypically sexual! Does anyone else see it that way? I must confess that until I bothered to take a picture, I thought all four women were wearing skirts. Now I think the one in a pantsuit was wearing near flesh colored clothes, just to foster that impression. But that's a minor point.

Faux is simply looking for something to regurgitate about "the left." And it's not about liberals in Iran, because they don't care at all about them. It's the liberals in the USA that they must always harp on about.

In Faux's world, every day that we're put on the defensive ... about anything ... is a day that we aren't screaming about Jeffrey Epstein's evidence.

And that apricot colored suit is not "flesh colored" nor inappropriate. Geez, I own an apricot colored pantsuit! Lots I can call FOX news out on but this image isn't one of those things.

... Sex sells. You are more likely to see attractive women on stools or a couch-like seat, with no table. The legs will be visible, and mostly bare. It's always been part of the FOX "News" formula.

I think the remainder of the wardrobes were just to foster that impression. But that's a minor point.

in that they have all crossed their legs at the knee. It has been shown for decades that not only is this "unladylike" (a minor point these days), but it is also unhealthy by virtue of cutting off the blood circulation in their legs. Sitting in this manner increases blood pressure and this increases the estimation of cardiovascular risk even when done so for brief periods of time. Crossed legs are also a cause of spider veins in the leg and can place stress on the lower back creating pain. A better posture would be to cross at the ankles, if at all.
