Sexism in the Media, 1003 verse!
Apr. 22nd, 2008 11:06 amThis is why I stopped wanting to be a journalist.
( Two images, below the cut )
The first one is this week's cover of The New Republic. I couldn't get a full shot of the second cover, this time of the National Review, but it uses the above image of Michelle Obama along with the tag "Mrs. Grievance: Michelle Obama and Her Discontent."
I hate the media so much right now. I hate them for their hideously unfair and misogynistic treatment of Hillary Rodham Clinton - I'm an Obama supporter, but they've crossed the line so many times it's not even there any more. And that National Review cover - ! Who the hell do these people think they are? We're fortunate enough to live in an age where formidable women can be involved in politics. I mean, Michelle Obama is the bomb! And yet we allow them to be this badly treated in the public press?
Journalism is dead, I swear.
