Live By Your Looks, Get Fired By Your Looks

The union says that the company that owns the NBC and CW affiliates in Boston and the Fox affiliate in Miami discriminates by age. A jury awarded almost a million dollars to a reporter who was fired in Miami, and the issue is being raised in negotiations in Boston. And age discrimination sucks and is indefensible, except for this: Many of these reporters were the beneficiaries of the same discrimination early in their careers, when they were hired because they were young and attractive. Oh, wait, you thought TV news hires people for the quality of their work? Do you even WATCH TV news? (Boston Globe)
