Madaline G. Dunn
WashPost’s Henderson, Rucker Pass Off Political Activist As Mere Elderly Anti-Romney ‘Protester’

In a May 25 front-page story headlined “Romney’s outreach meets hostile reception,” Washington Post staff writers Nia-Malika Henderson and Philip Rucker passed off a political activist by the name of Madaline G. Dunn as simply being a 78-year-old “protester” who has lived in West Philadelphia for 50 years and was “personally offended” by the fact that “Romney would visit her neighborhood.”
“It’s not appreciated here.... It’s absolutely denigrating for him to come in here and speak his garbage,” Henderson and Rucker quoted Dunn. Yet what the Post staff writers left out is that Dunn is no otherwise-apolitical resident who happened to be on hand to react to Romney’s campaign swing. She’s a seasoned political activist, having served as the legislative committee chair for the Philadelphia Congress of the National Congress of Black Women (PCNCBW).
