I’m sorry such an awful thing happened to you. Being a TV celebrity is hard enough. Trudeau’s police shot our reporter Alexa and beat up our reporter David but that’s nothing compared to having your fashion politely criticized.

I was calling out the double standard that women still face. I’ve been a broadcaster for 20+ years and it’s only getting worse. I would have thought you’d be in favour of calling out things that are wrong in the hopes of affecting change instead of belittling someone for it.

I’ll make you a deal. You say something about our reporters being shot, beaten, kicked, tripped, punched, arrested and jailed. And I’ll go to bat for your deeply important human right to not be gently criticized on Twitter for your fashion choices. #narcissist #vanity

This is what women...sadly still face in 2023...

I have yet to hear anyone say something like that without being a completely insufferable monster.

Do you think my dress is 'almost upsetting'?

Yes, unlike your face, which is actually upsetting.

She retweeted this:

Who has the right to bare arms? @tessvanstraaten does.
She joins #DREXonJACK Live Tuesday morning to talk about the rediculous below.

Yes, she's going on someone's show to bitch specifically about this. And I thought she might not be able to embarrass herself further.

I get emailed death threats from time to time. I report them to the police and not the internet. As a fully functioning adult woman, I would never boo-hoo about this extremely mild wardrobe criticism. This is embarrassing. For you.

Me, looking for all the times you spoke up when my female colleagues were assaulted, robbed, manhandled, intimidated, threatened with violence and censored. I'll be looking for a while, I think. Speedy recovery from your hurt feelings about your wardrobe choices. Prayers up!

I'm old enough to remember when left-wing estatblishment media was mocking Sun News Canada's network for some women being sleeveless: https://archive.is/kHbgy

Maclean’s magazine Washington, D.C. bureau chief Luiza Ch. Savage weighed in by calling the all-news network “Skank TV.”

“Just yesterday Sun TV’s studios was full of dry wall, today it is full of silicone,” Rick Mercer, host of the CBC’s Rick Mercer Report, tweeted a day after the network launched.

Ottawa Citizen columnist Dave Dutton chimed in, also on twitter: “26 babe shots in intro; still awaiting actual news.”

she has a dumb reaction to an equally dumb comment made about her wardrobe…. That is literally such a dumb criticism any reasonable person would have ignored it. Like that comment has the same kind of energy of someone measuring their neighbors grass and reporting it to their hoa for it being 2 mm above where it “should be”

A "celebrity" whamen overdosed on feminism and is acting a clown.

A woman whose occupation normally relies on her trading on her looks is getting desperate as she’s starting to age out
