Women of MSNBC Silent on Martin Bashir's Palin Comments
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | November 20, 2013 | Frances Martel

It has been a week since MSNBC's Martin Bashir took the network's hatred of Sarah Palin one step further with a sexist rant suggesting someone defecate and urinate into the former Alaska governor's mouth. Having apologized but received no discipline, his female colleagues on the network declined to comment to Breitbart News on the network's inaction.

Breitbart reached out directly to hosts Chris Jansing, Rachel Maddow, Abby Huntsman, Andrea Mitchell, Savannah Guthrie, Mika Brzezinski, Alex Wagner, Krystal Ball, and Alex Witt, as well as reporter Kelly O'Donnell, through a publicist, requesting comment on the continued lack of discipline Martin Bashir has enjoyed since making his comments regarding Palin. As of press time, none of MSNBC's talent has responded to our request, nor have they commented publicly on the matter.

The silence is deafening, especially compared to the backlash against those on the right who have outraged the network's talent in the past–with far less obscene statements. MSNBC has been pivotal in forwarding a narrative of the Republican Party and the American right as engaging in a "war on women" by expressing moral opposition to abortion and skepticism at the government interfering with women's health.

Those to whom Breitbart News has reached out have, in particular, not been hesitant to comment when the offender has been a right-wing pundit rather than someone on the left. At the peak of the Sandra Fluke contraceptive media scandal, Rachel Maddow contended that radio host Rush Limbaugh did not understand birth control. Krystal Ball started an online petition and boycott campaign against Limbaugh. Andrea Mitchell invited Fluke on her program to discuss her sympathetic phone call with President Obama.....

For Democrat women, being urinated on is probably pretty routine.

Yes, I suspect they get shat upon regularly too.

I don’t see why women should speak out more when another woman is insulted. Nor would I expect there to be a heavier burden on men to do the same when another man is insulted.

Why should our obligations be sex based for this issue?

Since Sarah is pro-life, the women of PMS-NBC don’t consider her a REAL woman.
