The November 17 edition of NBC Nightly News found time for a short item extolling the supposed feminist meaning of an Australian news anchor who wore the same non-descript blue suit every day for a year:

BRIAN WILLIAMS: A morning news anchorman in Australia has made an admission that underscores the huge fashion double standard between men and women. He says he's worn the same blue suit on the air for a year and nobody noticed. Contrast that to his female co-anchor, who is hardly able to repeat an outfit during the same week without attracting attention and scorn. His co-anchor said it best, in fact, quote, "women are judged much more harshly for what they do, what they say, and what they wear."
