MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer, you may remember just yesterday said the attack on Rupert Murdoch at a hearing encapsulated what the British were feeling.
Today, Contessa “educated” a conservative Representative that if Congress does not raise the debt raising, the country would be “reverting into a depression.” Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) said he disagreed which prompted the MSNBC host to ask him if he had a degree in economics.
“Yes ma’am, I do. Highest honors,” Rep. Brooks responded.
According to his Congressional page: “Mo graduated from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science and economics, with highest honors in economics. In 1978, he graduated from the University of Alabama Law School.” - realclearpolitics
Contessa, did yer boobs get ya yer job or did you “work” your way into it? Your journalism ethics certainly don’t reflect the non-partisanship and objectivism which is the foundation of true journalism…..Once your lips wear out and your throat gets raw from all that swallowing, you think you’ll still have a job?
@ Vinnie Da Blade, Your comments reflect bias and bigotry; never would you say such a thing to a handsome male reporter. Fact is that there is a lot of debate about the debt ceiling – Contessa representing a concern of many economists. The fact that you disagree does not give you license to berate a woman for her appearance. Disagree with intelligence, please.
Even though he’s right and its very clear she got her job for other “assets” and “talents” that had nothing to do with professional unbiased journalism?
While I disagree with the position that Contessa and many others have, it is not appropriate to make off color remarks about a person or their appearance. Let’s vigorously debate people’s opinions without regard to their gender or race.
