"Get that dumb bitch....[ off the screen]"

See elsewhere on the sift for discussion on why that language is offensive. What would the producer have yelled had it been a male reporter? Get that dumb bastard off the screen? I doubt seriously that the intelligence of the reporter would have been called into question.

Ah well. I can always use this video as proof in discussions in the future.

This seems like a fake voice over to me.

While I'm sympathetic to the point you are making about discrimination and sexism in the workplace, you don't have to be too creative (and I imagine this producer isn't) to come up with "Get that fucking idiot..." or "Get that stupid prick..." as gender-neutral or male-specific aspersions.

So, while this might illustrate a larger point about respect for women in the workplace, it might also reflect hierarchical disdain between studio producers and field reporters. I'll consider both possibilities true since there is no proof that one is a more valid interpretation.

@aaronfr -- it seems to me it is quite likely that there was equipment failure. How is this her fault? Can we tell from this? Did she know she was about to go live? How do you tell when you are in the field? This isn't my industry, I don't know how things work, just impressions from watching movies, docs, TV shows.

My objection is to ever using the phrase "dumb bitch." Call her a stupid idiot, fine. Dumb bitch is directed at her gender. Prick isn't an attack on the male gender.

I won't bore you with why that is so. I am being to suspect a basic gender difference in the way that men and women interact with the world, beginning with childhood. There is a rough and tumble nature to boy's play that, generally speaking, is missing from girls'.

Thanks for your thoughtful and respectful response. I really appreciate the added layer of the field reporter/producer dynamic.

The world is a complicated place. It will never be perfect.

I was kind of thinking the same thing however I havent seen any evidence that leads me to whether it is or not either way its a pretty convincing fake if it indeed is.
