Barbra Streisand attacks media over Hillary Clinton coverage
Barbra Streisand has lashed out at America's media for the way reporters are covering Hillary Clinton's presidential run.
The longtime gender rights activist and Clinton supporter has accused many U.S. news outlets of "outright sexism" for the way journalists are following the presidential campaign.
In an essay for The Huffington Post, Barbra writes: "It's been 24 years since I said in a speech for Women in Film, 'Men and women are clearly measured by a different yardstick. And that makes me angry. Of course, I'm not supposed to be angry. A woman should be soft-spoken, agreeable, ladylike, understated. In other words, stifled. Language gives us an insight into the way women are viewed in a male-dominated society'."
The filmmaker, actress and singer insists little has changed and accomplished women, like her friend Hillary, are still being treated with suspicion.
And she takes aim at reports from Fox News and MSNBC, claiming male political pundits are wrong to fixate on how stern the presidential hopeful appears.
"Hillary Clinton has a great smile and smiles often," she adds. "So does Barack Obama. So does Bill Clinton. But no one would tell those two men to smile."
Barbra also takes aim at Hillary's Republican rival Donald Trump, calling him the "joke that isn't funny".
