All of what you are saying may be true, and it would be one thing if, after a soccer game, a person interrupted a live interview and said "After the revolution, TV news will become responsible." (Maybe they do, but it we haven't noticed). It's another thing altogether to interrupt female reporters mid-broadcast and say FHRITP. Is that coming from a resentment of TV news or resentment of seeing a woman handling a microphone at an all-male sports event. If the statement were motivated by hatred of TV news for all the reasons you state, then male broadcasters would be targeted as well - maybe they are. Maybe the TV-news hating revolutionaries do interrupt live male broadcasters and say FHRUTA - but we just haven't noticed.
