The media begins preemptively silencing any criticism of female Dem candidates

WaPo columnist Margaret Sullivan had a serious problem with her industry’s coverage of Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. Too many reporters and opinion journalists were, in Sullivan’s opinion, blatantly sexist in their treatment of Clinton. As examples, she points out that people commented on everything from Clinton’s clothes to her “witchlike†laugh and “shrill†voice. And then there’s the “likeability†debate. (Insert heavy sigh here.) It’s all still fresh in her mind.
Not wanting to let the same thing happen in 2020, Sullivan is attempting to jump out in front of the field and begin calling out the press for doing what she perceives as the same thing to the crop of female candidates seeking the Democratic nomination next year. And she’s ready with a list of examples as to just how “sexist†the coverage is becoming already.
