Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade is under fire after saying his own network finds its female on-air talent by flipping through a Victoria's Secret catalog and making sure 'they went to college.'

During Kilmeade's radio show on Friday, a guest called in and complimented Alisyn Camerota, a fellow Fox News anchor who joins Kilmeade on his radio program and typically fills in for Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson.

The caller said: 'I don't know who was the scout that got you guys, but they rock.'

Mr Kilmeade responded: 'It was actually - we go to the Victoria's Secret catalog and we said, "Can any of these people talk?" And they all could and they all went to college.'

Ms Camerota responded: 'You're so crazy, Brian. Thank you very much, that's very sweet.'

The comments sparked outrage on Twitter, where some viewers vented about Kilmeade's remarks.

One tweet said: They should rename the [Fox & Friends] Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest show.'

Another tweeted: 'What an ass.'

This is not the first time Kilmeade's comments have backfired on the air.

He once made sexists comments that caused co-host Gretchen Carlson to storm off the set.

During Fox & Friends, he joked: 'Women are everywhere. We’re letting them play golf and tennis now.'

As she walked off the set, Carlson said: 'You know what? You read the headlines, since men are so great. Go ahead.'

A chorus of booing followed Carlson as she left the set, but Kilmeade was not deterred.

Carlson later returned, saying she was joking.

Kilmeade ended the segment saying he is 'pretty much not sexist.'

Fox news is a joke to begin with - so status quo

And what news station isn't a joke? Or maybe tell us which one you watch.

The only way that comment is legit is if you yourself have entirely disowned all of the mainstream media and do your own internet informing of yourself. :razz:

I usually watch all of them when there is a story that I am interested in (CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and a bunch of Canadian stations).

I agree that all of them are sometimes full of crap - but out of these stations I usually find Fox to be more doom and gloom reporting. There are many people on Fox that I just can't stand (they seem to always try to lead interviews to make "experts" say what they want and not actually report anything) and the way that they report the news is so sensationalized - that for the most part they lose credibility.

I usually watch CNN for an update or for breaking news. I know that they are just as biased - but their bias leans more toward my beliefs then the rest

I don't know about you guys, but I think Gretchen Carlson's relatively ugly compared to the rest of them.

Not just ugly, fugly. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard too.

Even after her major plastic surgery, Greta van Susteren is still ugly enough to gag a maggot.

Megyn Kelly, Ainsley Earhardt, and Martha MacCallum are the best three on there IMO

I like Jenna Lee too. That's not a very flattering picture of her there.
