I'm OK with the message implied in text, but not the message implying that being sexy is somehow relevant to one's impartiality/newsworthiness/whatever.
I'd accept the criticism if there was evidence that the image was shot for a Fox News commercial, because trying to sell news with the objectification of women doesn't strike me as being the height of journalistic standards and professionalism. However, there's nothing there to connect it with Fox News (and what she does outside of her job is not relevant)
I'm fairly sure that is Megyn's face photoshopped on another body. I still think this line of complaints is interesting in light of Fox's obvious use of bleached blonde short skirted eye candy to deliver the "news".
I dispute that that is the implication. This obvious fake image is being used to point out Fox's fake news delivered by women chosen and dressed to appeal to drooling trailer trash men.
But it's satirizing that message about sexiness being relevant—which is, make no mistake, Fox News' implied message in so consistently hiring female anchors and pundits who look like this. It's not making it.
