I believe it's considered insulting because women have a long history of being blamed for the poor behaviour or performance of men. In this instance there's a lot of women who want to work in this field as journalists and are immediatley seen as eye-candy at best, unwelcome at worst. On the surface it is just a small comment, but it sits alongside decades of comments heard in sport, religion, or business meant to keep women in (or out of) a certain place.
