I don't think the horrible responses excuse the original comment, which I said I didn't like either. You're totally within your rights to think she can and should be better. But her making fun of Matt Murray's appearance is not at all equivalent to people judging women on looks because Matt Murray isn't a woman. They are both bad, but bad in different ways and to different degrees. And it's not fair to her to say "we make a big deal about not judging female media members on looks, and yet here is this female media member...". You can't hold her to a higher standard and condemn her mistakes as worse because she is a woman.
