Deathwatch : Dana Milbank and Chris Cillizza, Two Media Bigots who call Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton a “Mad Bitch.”Sunday, August 2, 2009 at 11:54 pm — admin
Quiz question: Two male reporters, Dana Milbank and Chris Cillizza, of the Washington post suggested By now you’ve surly all heard that the above-mentioned Wapo reporters have indeed indulged their misogynistic, bigoted tastes in a video that pokes fun at Obama’s beer summit. In the video, the only beer suggested for our black President is “Ale to the Chief.” Our readers may recall that last December, We then did a bit of investigation with the human resource department at the Washington Post. Posing as a staff reporter I called Wapo’s HR dept. and complained that such a tagline—"Martha Does DC"-- was hung on my office door. I was told by Wapo Human Resource staff that not only was it unacceptable for my co-worker to write such a thing, it was SO unacceptable that even if I declined to make a formal complaint the charge was so serious they’d have to act upon it regardless of my wishes of privacy on the matter. I then gave up the jig. There can be NO DOUBT that Milbank and Cillizza can NOT report without negative bias on women in politcs. Reporters who have such obvious bias and sexism and misogyny towards women must be dismissed. A reporter who found if funny to call Obama a the n word would last about as long at Wapo as butter under a looking glass on a sweltering day in August. Last week, the NYTimes reported that Women across this country are surely getting tired of the media’s almost pathological addiction to sexism...and the utter lack of penalty for committing misogyny. As a woman in media, I am becoming so fretful that women in this business are either too stupid to demand that sexism stop or too self-loathing to see it as a problem. Men run things in journalism. I’ve said this 10 to the 10th on this site. But if women in media don’t throw down the gauntlet on this, I am left to surmise that not a single women in politics will ever be accorded fair media treatment and that our female journalists are so much sheeple they are not worth the voice they are not given in policy and political coverage. For the women of America who DO understand that if Milbank and Cillizza keep their jobs, each and every one of us is just another worth-less-than human being. Don’t be shy about asking them about the dissonance of the Palin Does George porn reference vs. newsroom intolerance to sexism. If it is not tolerated at work, it should not be tolerated in print. Are the rest of us worth less respect than Wapo's female reporters? links: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/07/washington-post-pulls-mouthpi... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/31/dana-milbank-suggests-hil_n_248... http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200908020007 links hypered above: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/republican-party/palin-does-geor... http://www.politico.com/blogs/michaelcalderone/0709/Milbanks_suggestion_... |

Leave it to the
Leave it to the anti-feminists at Feministing to say:
Um....sad to see it go? No wonder MSM loves Feministing and no wonder they keep supporting the sexists who call women sexist names.
And then just to tell Wapo, hey don't blame us:
Feministing adds:
First by calling it a brouhaha she is sending the message this is not a worthy event to be upset over.
Second, she is agreeeing with Obama supporter Ta-Nehisi (anti-Hillaryite )that use of the B word only belittles the user. Feminists who put forth that calling a women bitch and slut only hurts the name caller is beyond stupid. It is dangerous.
Jessica keep on SUCKING up to the Atlantic , you are exactly what they want in a woman--a sexist woman.

That will not happen. I calleed Wapo HR director; he told me it was "humor" and asked if I could understand the difference? Talk about talking down to women!
I asked him if he'd LOL if reporters suggested Obama swill Watermelon Brew and chew a chicken leg? He actually told me becasue there was no watermelon beer that did not make sense. I dare him to suggest as this post did that Obama kick back with a Colt 45! Funny Right! ?
Wayne Connell thinks sexism is OK as long as it is Funny! No wonder women at the Post conform to sexism! Human Resrouces is NOT going to bat for those wo--mins things.
