Article pushing many PC buttons. But this part is ironic:

"Why are female characters described in terms of their looks?"

Similarly, why is it that "someone," in each of these TV networks, feels 
compelled to describe the wardrobe of the women in the news? Do they bother to 
describe the suits the guys are wearing?

It's women that do this to themselves. You can be fairly certain, the very vast 
majority of men wouldn't know where to begin, to describe these women's 
wardrobes, and doesn't give a tinker's damn.
