Is it any wonder why theres such a disconnect between Americans and the media giants that claim to represent them? For the second time in less than a month, a magazine has declared that only liberal women make a difference. Glamour announced the 2019 Women of the Year and surprise no conservatives are included.
Some of the winners include far-left environmental activist Greta Thunberg, anti-Trump soccer star Megan Rapinoe and apocalyptic Handmaids Tale author Margaret Atwood.
How about female leaders like former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley or Senator/United States Air Force combat veteran Martha McSally? Of course, they were not considered.
Instead, Thunbergs entry is titled The Revolutionary. The text in the online version read: Sixteen-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg is on a mission to save the planetbut she can't do it alone. (Not mentioned, her claim that eating meat is stealing her generations future or her hypocritical flight shaming.)
In an online-only CBS This Morning segment, Glamour editor-in-chief Samantha Barry hailed Thunberg as a star:
These young women can really make change. And I think what was interesting when we were awarding Greta is the amount of people who wanted to give us secondary interviews. Al Gore was trying to talk to us for the interview.... So I think what was interesting was all of the generations that wanted to come and talk about how Greta had made a difference.
Atwood, who predicted a dystopian future where women are stripped of all their rights and raped so that they can give birth to babies for the elite, is called The Oracle. The text for her claimed, Our 2019 Lifetime Achievement winners terrifying literary predictions are truer than ever, but so is her faith in women. Actually, none of her predictions have come true. But that, apparently, doesnt matter.
Barry touted Atwood, who is Canadian, as the queen of Canada. Speaking of her photo shoot, the editor-in-chief hyped:
Shes the best storyteller and when her interview is amazing. Shes just got this regal elegance about her. We shot her in Canada and it was like we had the queen of Canada come to set. And shes a beautiful person with so many stories to tell. And when she talks, everyone stops to listen.
Barry told CBS This Morning host Gayle King: So, we look, across the board, across different industries, which women have made major differences this year. Across the board and across industries. Just so long as theres no diversity of political thought.
In early October, People magazine announced the Women Changing the World in 2019 awards. They included, liberals like Thunberg, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar.
Conservative women, Glamour and People magazine think you dont exist.

CBS This Morning 10/22/19
SAMANTHA BARRY: Its months in the planning. And, again, its of the year. So, we look, across the board, across different industries, which women have made major differences this year. But I think one of the things that stood out for us about all of these eight women this year and groups is that theyre not just making a difference this year, theyre really pushing the boundaries and standing up for each other and kind of I think a lot of the women will have generation impact for years to come. Whether thats Greta who is, you know, 16 and is changing how the world looks at climate change or Megan Rapinoe who is really fighting for the next generation of soccer players in equal pay.

Sounds like the making of a B-rate horror movie.
“Atwood, who predicted a dystopian future where women are stripped of all their rights and raped so that they can give birth to babies for the elite, is called The Oracle.

When this book was published and they made the first movie, In response to hysterics Atwood said it was just a story.
And Rep. Katie Hill.
Hillary’s not on there.
The fantasy world of the Unicorn Farm has only created a toxic scat that has littered the political landscape. Hopefully, the American people will do a pressure wash with their vote.
My vote for the woman of the century: Candace Owens
I love Candace Owens as much as a love Michelle Malkin.
I read where she also stated that it was suppose to represent an Islamic like theocracy. Wonder who chose to make it represent Christianity??
disconnect between Americans and the media giants that claim to represent them?
Since when do media giants claim to represent Americans?
“I love Candace Owens as much as a love Michelle Malkin.”
Found a kitten in the bushes about 5 days ago. I named her Candace.
These people are just sheer idiots.
Hillary is last decades news.
What made me laugh about The Handmaids Tale is the amount of projection of the left on who is most likely to involve themselves in controlling reproductive rights. A leftie was gleefully telling me about it until I mentioned that in such a case it would be the left who organized such a thing as the right is all for individual rights and the left is all about the state. Instant silence. I am sure it ruined the show for her. Haha
Hey folks, am recommend not buying leftist magazines. We should stop giving our money to people who hate us. I am currently staying at a Trump hotel. I use my money to support those who support me and not to those who would murder me if they could get away with it.
JoMa
What’s it like?
Candace Owens. I nominate her for Free Republic Sweetheart.
That must be nice. I looked at the new Trump hotel in DC, and it is a little pricy for us. It would be fun to stay the night there and visit some of the museums, but not at that price. Well just do the usual, drive to the Metro and ride the train in for the day. Maybe we can take a walk through the lobby.
