ANCHOR BLOOPERS

Maybe something less glittery

Liberte Chan’s wardrobe choice was all anybody could talk about after her blooper moment. Although her colleague requested (demanded) that she put on a sweater to cover up her sparkly little black dress, viewers everywhere were upset at the blatant sexism of this move – since when has anyone asked a male reporter to change his outfit?

Of course, it wasn’t long until official statements released by both KTLA and Chan herself revealed that it was just an awkward joke – but the fact remains that bias still prevails in the media today, even in ways we don’t always anticipate. This incident highlighted the double standards many female reporters often face professionally.
