Most local newscasts end with some type of fluff piece. Shauna was not all that happy with one which aired the other day.

Why on earth would a respectable news station chose to air a story about Maxim magazine’s list of “The Five Unsexiest Women Alive?” I suppose such a thing is expected from a magazine like Maxim, but I was horrified to see this misogynistic piece of tripe aired as “news.” As a woman and as the mother of a young girl, I am constantly bombarded by media telling me that I’m not skinny enough, I’m not pretty enough, and I’m not good enough for the men of America. This magazine article attacking the appearance of various celebrities will lead girls to think that outward appearance is all that men care about, and that they will never live up to the expectations of those men. How sad that News Channel 5 has chosen to perpetuate this misinformation.
