What it’s like to be a woman in TV

What are you thinking @TiXiong13, who last evening got called out — and appropriately so — by Dawn Mitchell, the sports anchor and reporter at Fox 9 News.

Men rallied to Mitchell’s defense, assuring her that she’s gorgeous, which rather misses the point.

Mitchell was covering the Vikings NFL draft, during which the team drafted Mike Hughes, who was dismissed from North Carolina after sexual assault allegations didn’t yield criminal charges.
