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.

Did Sarah Palin ever scold the media for their double standard on her? Just curious....
“Hillary Rodham Benghazi.”
I never write L0L as it seems so cliché. But I did laugh...out...loud. Thanks.
Conservative women…Clinton is playing victim
Damn, that woman is bossy.
Once the media engine senses they are in the clear, we are gonna see the most relentless campaign for Hillary, with all the propaganda lessons learned during the 0bama campaign and regime-to-date and it will go on until we are ankle deep in our own vomit.
Shut up bitch and fix me a turkey pot pie!
The liberal politicians bullying conservatives, as usual.
“Clinton is playing victim”
I stopped at the article because I thought it was Hillary commenting on how well she was treated in comparison to, say, Sarah Palin.
I cannot fathom what life must be like when your entire existence is filtered through some victim underclass perspective.
I think Hillary hates herself. Like most Hollywood elites, they are empty inside and are always looking for some self worth demonstration. They only exist from one emotion to the next based on who last adorned them with praise and accolades.
To say she is out of touch would be assuming we could make a day trip to Mars.
Put Sarah Palin at the top of the GOP ticket, and neutralize the “issue”.
If she were a woman, that'd be sexist! (I think)
As it stands now, I'm not sure your witty quip is racist, sexist, bigoted or homophobic. I'm gonna have to consult a liberal. Be right back.....
Oh, Hillary’s just being bossy again.
This from the woman who’s husband is a womanizer and while in the White House his behavior disgraced our country and not a word out of her on it.
No sorry Hi Larry,
The double standard out there is against anyone of a conservative leaning not towing the PC line. That’s the real double standard.
IT'S A VAST, RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY I TELL YA!!!!!
This witch was silent when Sarah Palin was being called a b****, a c***, taunted (along with her daughter) by rape jokes in the mainstream media, and hung in effigy (all in 2008)?
Too late to cry out about a “War on Women”.
Hillary empowered a serial rapist in Chief.
There is a double standard. Without it, Hillary would be a small-time contracts and real estate lawyer in suburban Little Rock, Arkansas...doing taxes on the side to pay off her Walmart credit card. :)
