Columnist RIPS Howard Kurtz For SLUT-SHAMING Daughter-In-Law Over Facebook Photos

[Segami]

Truly a FOX prick-weasel now.......




A television critic, who was recently fired by CNN and The Daily Beast after a series of embarrassing mistakes about a gay NBC player, on Tuesday devoted his Fox News column to how little clothing his former employer’s daughter-in-law was wearing in her Facebook photos. Fox News media critic Howard Kurtz began his Tuesday column by noting that Washington Post Vice President Ben Bradlee, who Kurtz had worked for before leaving for The Daily Beast, was “one of the great men of American journalism.”


But the point of Kurtz’ column was not to praise Ben Bradlee: it was to call out his daughter-in-law, Pari Bradlee, for a profile photo she posted Facebook because she is wearing a “Swiss-cheese bra that leaves little to the imagination and long black leather sleeves and briefs, is so revealing that it drew a torrent of breathless comments.” Kurtz added that the yoga instructor posted another photo where “she is nude, shot from the back, twisting one arm behind her.”


Although there is nothing about the photos that wouldn’t make it past network television censors, Kurtz asked, “Do the pictures go too far?” “And while there is a light-hearted aspect to the R-rated pictures, Pari Bradlee is also making a statement,” the Fox News critic wrote. “The Hamptons photo shoot, conducted by an old friend, Barry Fidnick, prompted friends to post such comments as ‘HOTT THANG!!!!’, ‘u look sexual’ and ‘Turning this gay man STRAIGHT!’ Kurtz observed. “And her husband obviously approves: he ‘liked’ the picture on her page.”


However, Sally Quinn, who writes a column on religion for the Post and is married to Ben Bradlee, probably won’t be “liking” anything Kurtz does anytime soon. She told Media Matters that she was “appalled” and “heartbroken” when she saw the comments about her daugher-in-law. “I thought Howard was a decent guy, I thought he was my friend and I’m appalled and really heartbroken that he would do something like this,” she explained. “Why would you want to hurt somebody?”

1. " Asked why she believed Kurtz would write such a column,....

"...Quinn said she did not know, other than he could not find anything else to write about.

"I guess it's been a slow news week. I just don't know what he's up to, would I go after a friend's child? No," she said. "I don't think it had anything to do with anything. I think it was just a slow news day. There has been no personal animosity between Howie and me, none, never...."

2. He was probably aroused.

That is usually why they make comments like that.

3. " No one cared about the Facebook photos of one Pari Bradlee...

"..No one cared that one of them portrayed her in a “Swiss-cheese bra.” No one cared that another showed her posing nude, “shot from the back, twisting one arm behind her.” No one cared that the photos were “R-rated.” Except for Howard Kurtz, the recently installed media correspondent for Fox News. The quotes above come from his posting today, titled “Ben Bradlee’s daughter-in-law reveals (almost) all on Facebook.” Pari Bradlee, nee Pari Williamson, is married to Quinn Bradlee, son of the former and famous Washington Post Executive Editor Ben Bradlee. She’s a well-known yogi, at least inside the Beltway, and her choice of photos, at least in Kurtz’s estimation, constituted a public issue worthy of FoxNews.com..."
