Palin has a lot good to say, but this is trivial.
It was a significant point of discussion on Tuesday night when Palin was on FNC with Geraldine Ferraro. The discussion centered around how female candidates, especially Republicans, are treated by the press. No, it's not Joy Behar by any stretch, but Palin is simply expanding a point well made on television on Tuesday night.
Actually, it’s not so trivial as you may think. What is trivial is coverage of what Sarah or Michelle is wearing. Why is it you never hear what John Boehner, or Chuck Schumer for that matter, is wearing? But always detail about Palin’s outfits?
Our body politic is becoming heavily populated with women candidates and officials. We want to hear what they are or are not doing in office, not what’s on their backs and/or feet. It’s time to stop that type coverage.
And, Politico did take down the Bachmann picture, so Palin’s comments were effective.
No trivial IMO. Sarah has taken on the task of calling the media on the carpet for its blatant sexism where women politicians are concerned. She needs to have them shamed into being more balanced in their reporting before the 2010 election. I see signs that her attacks on the media are working. Go Sarah!
