Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an audience in New York that the news media has a “double standard” against women in powerful position, and offered advice to younger women on how to overcome it.
“There is a double standard,” Clinton said, according to Politico. “We have all experienced it.”
Clinton was speaking on a panel at the “Women in the World” conference in New York Thursday, along with International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde and moderated by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.
“The double standard is alive and well, and I think in many respects the media is the principal propagator of its persistence,” Clinton continued. “And I think the media needs to be, you know, more self-consciously aware of that.”
Hillary Clinton supporters have frequently complained about her tough treatment by the media, particularly when she faced off against Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.

Somehow I don’t think she’s talking about how the media treats decent honest Conservative women like crap while idolizing lying Harpies such as as Clinton, Pelosi, etal.
Women who were abused by the Clinton machine faced the double standard.
I agree, the media gives female Demwits a pass, while conducting hate speech campaigns against Sarah Palin, and looking the other way when Julie Boonstra is being verbally assaulted every damned day.

Hey Hilary - the double standard it that between liberal women vs conservative women; and it is compounded when the conservative woman is black.
What does Hillary know about this? If she hadn’t married a guy who happened to be “moving on up,” most of us never would have heard of her.
