Female news anchor slammed for the terrible crime of wearing skinny jeans
If you want to be a respected female journalist in America, you need to choose your jeans wisely.
On Tuesday, KARE 11news anchor Jana Shortal came under fire for committing the terrible sin of wearing skinny jeans on air. In a column published and since removed from the Star Tribune, a columnist who goes by the name C.J. went after the journalist for her "inappropriate" attire.

Shortal was reporting on the story of Jacob Wetterling, an 11-year-old boy who was abducted 30 years ago and whose remains were just recently found.
For C.J., Shortal's "hipness" was disrespectful to Wetterling's grieving family. Can you imagine what kind of damage seeing a woman in nice jeans could have done to the family? Mourning, interrupted by Uniqlo.
"While I cannot imagine they’ll want to read or watch every media take about the horror they have been living, I would think that hipness wouldn’t be a priority while covering one of the biggest, saddest stories in Minnesota history," C.J. wrote.
Real journalists, apparently, wear boot cut.
On Twitter, C.J. reached out to Shortal to ask her if she had any regrets, and Shortal responded, with more than a few retweets:
. @DishCentral IDK what my clothing has to do with covering the tragedy of Jacob's death. My only 'wish' on Tuesday was for Jacob's family.

Shortal has received a largely supportive response from her fans on the Internet. C.J. even went so far as to compare Shortal's followers to the Beyhive:
These @janashortal fans are almost like riling up the BeyHive.

And, to emphasize her point:
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz @janashortal

She really likes this joke:
How perspicacious, @janashortal, of some on Twitter to be so outraged before they even read the item.Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Shortal has since responded in an emotional Facebook post:
"I wore my clothes. The clothes it took me a very long time to feel comfortable in no thanks to the bullies like you who tried to shame me out of them," Shortal wrote.
Though the column has since been taken down, C.J. has yet to apologize to the journalist publicly.
