3. I do not like that

female talking heads always seem to wear clothing that reveals much skin. If that is their choice, I am fine with it. If it is the corporate policy I object to it being sexist and dismissive to women's intellect. Men wear suits or at least shirts that do not expose their chest and arms. They do not wear dresses. I love looking at beautiful women, but watching the news I much prefer their intelligence. One of the reasons I like Rachael Maddow so much is that she wears casual, working clothes.

Again, if this is the choice of the woman, great. But I suspect they are often required to dress in a semi-revealing way.
