Sexist coverage of Hillary?
I read an interesting article on the Boston Herald website about the perceived sexist media coverage of Hillary Clinton during her entire campaign thus far.
Basically, columnist Margery Eagan says that there’s unfair treatment of Hillary in the media because news outlets often publish unflattering photos of Clinton “that make her look crazy”, while these same outlets publish good photos of opponent Barack Obama looking “cool and reflective.”
I have to say that I totally agree with Eagan’s assessment. I have Yahoo! set as my homepage, and I can’t even begin to tell you the number of times that a crazy-looking Hillary photo has been among the most e-mailed items of the day. I’ve never, ever seen an unflattering news photo of Obama. Perhaps they exist; I don’t really know or care. The point is that I never have to go hunting for Crazy Hillary pictures.
I don’t even support Hillary, but I still think this kind of coverage is unfair.
