Peter Peters

:deal

 

She is married to the **** that is running the paper u know.

 

Look, its pretty obvious that in the world of TV this is generally the case, not just in Sports reporting, this argument has been put up for discussion many times & its pretty hard to argue, yes most females on television are young & attractive, or extremely funny & qyuirky or a well regarded specialist in a field

Whereas Men are deemed to be more authorative as they get older & become distiguished & believable

Television networks just dont do this willy nilly they take consumer surveys,expert analysis, psychological profiling etc very seriously, they are essentially selling tv shows they need to know how the public percieve certain people of a certain age & gender

Its interesting that Ita Buttrose seems to be making a bit of a comeback, maybe grandmotherly figures are in, maybe the public warm to women that are a bit older now

The woman that was a part of the Peters situation wasnt really the face of a programe or a bigf draw card, she was just a run of the mill starting out journo, so i can only assume she was qualified & equal amongst her peers

 

Ita Buttrose??!! What ****ing forum am I on??

 

Wtf are you on about?







Btw.... Anne sanders would still get it.

 

who cares its manly and Peters is fat slob

 

I might start a thread on jan murray.

 

New management wanted to get rid of him way before this...it's only Manly for christ sake, who cares..let them run themselves into the ground.

 

well nobody in a network will admit it because they'd be open to all kinds of sexism & Ageism court cases etc

I'm not saying its totally 100% like that anyway, but we've all heard women, in every industry, every proffesion talk about the glass ceiling, nobody will say it exists but statistics seem to suggest it does, wether its institutionalised or some kind of subliminal thing i have no idea

Still, no matter how good looking some bird is, you just cant ignore her in her profesional capacity & blurt out what Peters said, if you cant see that then i cant help you, i'd worry about how you were brought up or if you are just not very intelligent, it was smug, belittling, & was meant to demean her profesionnally, i'm sure when she went to Uni & did Journalism it wasnt because she looked in the mirror one day & thought "i'm not to bad on the eye i think a career in Journalism beckons"

 

no

it was slightly inappropriate. that is all.

not worthy of a sacking, perhaps a "pull your head in"

 

Ahhh Throw some Trent up mate , Is Trent still with us?

 

hey im good looking, how you doooing? :good

 

I see good looking girls every day, it doesnt mean its appropriate to walk up to them & say "geez you're a good sort", the said girl may be a ****ing Rhodes scholar, a judge, a mother etc


But there you go on about ugly again, what does indeed constitute ugly??

Theres plenty of girls in tv & journalism who may not win miss world, but with a bit of makeup & some decent lighting scrub up ok, i know i'll get shouted down on ESB because everyone is used to knocking around with models

We also seem to just be banged over the head by the popular media, i'd suggest you'll see more ordinary girls on networks like the ABC & SBS where substance is a little more important
