He was saying what every guy watching the show was thinking and the nation wants to castrate him for it.
He's got balls.

News Anchor Inappropriate?

Greg Kelly and Brent Musberger would be good friends. Brent would be all " Oh yeah, I'm liking that body. Oh yeah, get in that water.".
What professions applaud people for saying exactly exactly what's on their mind with no filter? Maybe a radio shock jock but that's their job and the only one I can think of.
thinking back to when I was a waiter in college:
"man you are overweight and shouldn't be eating like this"
"wow my customer is hot and busting out of her shirt"
"these foreign people are rude and don't know about tipping"
"my boss is an idiot"
All 100% true and what I was really thinking but wouldn't have been doing my job by saying them. You could come up with 1000s of these for any job.

I'm not saying he should've said it on air, but we can't attack a man for saying what's on his mind. He should get fired, and that should be the end of it.
For the record, he didn't say anything about her breasts, he just said he liked her swimsuit and that she should stay on camera. Was it inappropriate? Yes. Would I stop watching the show because of it? No.
Out of curiosity, what does the network gain from firing this guy? I agree with everyone that he should be fired because it's inappropriate, but by firing him, they are probably losing viewers. I'd love to watch something like this go down in the morning.
What was on his mind was completely creepy. This girl was obviously uncomfortable with the assignment. When she is showing that she's obviously uncomfortable with disrobing this jackhole should've read the situation and not piled on.
He's a dickwad who's trying to be outrageous like the other "Good Day" shows.
Throw his *** in a suit and let the world see him play in the water park as an apology
I would be fine with this.
The person who had the idea of making her get in her swimsuit is just as at fault as this guy.
Not arguing against you on this one. I am just saying that no one would have given it a second thought if the roles were reversed.
I think its worth noting that this was a morning show. Those shows often tend a little bit more towards the 'unprofessional'. Karl Stefanovic (an australian anchor) is a good one to look up if you want some funny examples.

I agree with all of this, and will add she should have said no to how the assignment was setup and want the station wanted.

The comments were not professional, but count me in the group that finds it strange to send a reporter to a pool in a bikini for a segment. There's a fine line between putting someone good on television to do your reporting and exploiting that person's looks.
ahem....
touche! Though I don't think that ended up all over the news
Just here on CF!
Agreed. The comments were stupid and have no place in a news broadcast. I would have loved to have seen her lash out against that guy on live tv.
Reading through this thread, I didn't really see any posts that were implying that the way she was dressed was saying "she deserved those comments". It looks like most everyone agrees that 1) the comments were uncalled for and 2) she was placed in a bad position by the station in the first place.
Out of curiosity, with everything else being the same, if you are watching the same news come from a 25-40 year old anchor, would you watch the station with the attractive anchor versus the unattractive one?*
*this isn't just meant for clonefan32
The goon was totally unprofessional, even after prompts from his co-anchor to chill. A lot of men were probably thinking the same thing, but weren't on the air. In this age of PC, you have to think before you talk.
Can we stop saying that "PC" is the reason that he should have watched himself? How about just being decent to a colleague and not feeling entitled to spout off whatever ******** crosses your mind?
