Sexism & the Clinton campaign

By Deirdre Shesgreen

WASHINGTON–When Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., suspended her presidential bid last weekend, many of her female supporters watched with bitter disappointment as their hopes of the seeing first woman president were dashed. Questions of sexism have been raised from the start of her ground-breaking campaign, with Clinton allies saying the media did not treat her fairly.

We haven’t done a thorough analysis of the coverage. But this video clip, made by the Women’s Media Center, sure caught our attention. Check it out and tell us what you think.

Interesting video. Painful to watch. Truth does hurt sometimes.

Most of the clips were from Faux News. Shocking.

How one responds is everything. But first, one must judge and examine self honestly. Hillary Clinton failed to examine and judge her and her campaign tactics honestly and she and her camp responded to people in all the wrong ways.

Hopefully, woman and men alike will finally get it that dirty politicking is not in fashion now; we have all been burnt too badly by it. There is much hope for America because many now get it.

“Fox is so disgusting in all their ways.”

Funny you say that, former chair of the DNC says FNC has been more fair than any other network in their election coverage. Couple that with a new poll that shows overwhelming LSM bias for Obamessiah and its no wonder you are upset.

svppb,
Yeah, Terry McAuliffe. Bleh. You may have noticed his candidate lost, too.

I’ve seen far less bias on Fox News than on any of the big three networks. Add MSNBC to the list and I think Fox News is far and above the most “fair and balanced” station out there. Almost every story they have regarding politics has a liberal and conservative giving their side of the story. I would agree, though, that Fox and Friends has a more conservative slant but I’ll still take them over Olberman, Mathews, or Couric.

You should watch the documentary “Outfoxed”. That will straighten out your thinking.
