Misogyny in ACTION! Media once again hates on women candidates.

Want a clear cut example of the misogyny Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar face from the media this primary season?

Consider this story from the Houston Chronicle:

Warren, Klobuchar end 2019 lagging top rivals in fundraising

https://www.abqjournal.com/1406145/warren-klobuchar-end-2019-lagging-top-rivals-in-fundraising.html

Forget for a moment that Warren did have a dip in fundraising mid 4th quarter but closed with a surge to almost catch Biden and Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar just had her BEST fundraising quarter and is on the upswing closing in on Mayor Pete Buttigieg in the polls.

And how does the media frame these changing dynamics? By accentuating that both women "trail" their male rivals.

Forget that EVERYONE is trailing Bernie Sanders by almost $10 MILLION dollars when it comes to 4th quarter fundraising, lets just single out the women candidates. Right.

What is even more galling, is that Andrew Yang is highlighted for having his best quarter of fundraising, a nice $16 million, but he's not singled out as "trailing" his main rivals even though he raised less than Warren!


Can you say misogyny, boys and girls? I think you can.

1. DAMMIT!

2. America will not elect a woman President.

Only Joe can win. A vote for Amy or Elizabeth is a vote for trump. I'm sorry to have to say that, but it's true.

3. I noticed that also.

4. And the irony is; it's the men and their testosterone driven aggression...

...that continues to bring our world to the brink of destruction. It’s time the media wised up. It’s time to put a woman in charge.

5. This.

Indeed. But if you are waiting for the media to wise up, you'd better not hold your breath.

And had Hillary Clinton been in charge - as she should have been - we would NOT be in this situation now.
