I'm like, holy shit!
Yeah, everything just edges out.
A local meteorologist is suing CBS and Los Angeles affiliates KCAL and KCBS for age and gender discrimination.
I mean that stations are rejecting experience in favor of pretty faces.
Kyle Hunter, an award-winning meteorologist with over 20 years of experience.
And look at that head of hair.
Is that him on the line?
No, it's a dude that's groomed like a chick.
It looks like blonde like me.
That's the same person.
It really looks like he's trying to make a point.
No, here's the thing.
That guy, that pretty man, has over 20 years of experience and says that his repeated attempts to apply for two open weather broadcaster positions were ignored or rebuffed because CBS was only interested in hiring young, beautiful women.
He has a bachelor's degree in geosciences and broadcast meteorology.
I know.
It doesn't make any difference.
Well, but it does to him and to his lawyer, Gloria Allred.
She says the case may be the first of its kind because a man is claiming discrimination based on his age and gender.
He's seeking unspecified damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees.
You've got to specify.
