Woodward apologized for "dwelling on the tone issue," but said "there is something here where Hillary Clinton suggests that she's almost not comfortable with herself."
Clinton should "lower the temperature" and "get off this screaming stuff," he added.
Other guests during the segment defended Clinton. "These are rallies, though, and it's hard [not to scream] at a rally," journalist Cokie Roberts said.
The former secretary of state has been criticized for her appearance and a perceived lack of approachability for her entire career. Much of that criticism is clearly sexist: shouting, for example, is not usually a liability for male candidates.

Don't worry Bob, you won't be getting any interviews, so your over sensitive ears are in no danger.

Wish I'd had the courage to write it. Thanks for sharing.
Here's just the beginning of the "shouting:"
FIRST AND FUCKING FOREMOST, COOL, YOU LIKE BERNIE'S WISHES AND DREAMS APPROACH TO POLITICS. "FREE COLLEGE FOR EVERYONE AND A GODDAMN PONY." YES, THAT SOUNDS FUCKING WONDERFUL BUT DO YOU THINK HILLARY COULD EVEN SAY THOSE WORDS WITHOUT FOX NEWS LITERALLY BURYING HER ALIVE IN TAMPONS AND CRUCIFIXES?
And it goes on - and on - and on. It is a glorious thing to behold.

Any of the other male candidates, what is the problem, we know Morning Joe is not calling out male shouters maybe Woodard was pandering to the show but it does not mean it was nit a sexist statement. I have placed Morning Joe on ignore.

(11,588 posts)5. Bob Woodward is biased as heck
When I listen to him I wonder how he could be the same reporter who was digging for the truth all those years ago with the Watergate incident that eventually brought down a president. What happened to him?

victim to his own hubris. IMO, he's a first-class jerk, certainly since the Raygun era.
