161. so, why liken the two? because this is what Hillary is talking about, and it is valid
there is a pattern of sexism here... and msnbc ought to have some standards- some policies enacted and enforced because they are routinely insulting half of the country. and their anchors seem to be clueless as to what's acceptable. it's disturbing to me, it feels like the 60's again.
shuster's apology did not admit he was wrong in the least-it was a total non- apology- which is why i thought hil said it wasn't enough. but she mentioned the station's pattern very specifically - yet people hear her say off with his head. doesn;t make it true.
we didn;t hear anyone call for anyone to be fired- i think that's the huge <histronic> <victim card> overreaction here.
i don't see what hil did as being any different from obama as to reminding the news programs that they should have standards. i think they are both correct in doing so. airing the issues brings them to light. gets the elctorate to thinking about it.
to ignore this, to make light of it- is to throw half the voters under the bus, and likening us all to whores. nice.
