Sexism

New York Times White House correspondent Zolan Kanno-Youngs joined CNN’s Dana Bash on Wednesday’s Inside Politics to discuss why some black men are not so quick to jump aboard the Harris 2024 bandwagon. Kanno-Youngs arrived at the conclusion that they are sexists who have been informed by “gender roles” instilled in them from “colonialism.”

When I ran for governor, a reporter accused me of believing “men are smarter than women.” Research shows, I wrote in a 20-year-old column, women know and care more about social security, health care and education. When asked, however, about 25 political questions, men were more likely to answer correctly in 15, men and women answered the same in nine, and women answered more correctly than men…

On the Saturday edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, Tara Setmayer's rebuke of Donald Trump as the real "bum" in the race sends co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend into a frenzy.

Joining CNN Newsroom on Sunday evening to react to President Joe Biden’s announcement that he will be ending his re-election bid, chief national correspondent John King predicted that “you can be certain that racism and sexism” will be directed against Vice President Kamala Harris as she replaces Biden as the likely Democratic nominee.

On Sunday afternoon after President Biden’s handlers posted for him on social media that he won’t run for reelection, CBS blew ABC and NBC out of the water with nearly four hours of airtime (roughly 3:55) fawning over Biden as someone embedded in “the American story” and set to live “in very rarefied air” of U.S. history and decrying even policy criticisms of likely Democratic nominee, Vice…

How will The New York Times treat the Democrat’s sudden frontrunner for the party’s 2024 presidential nomination, VP Kamala Harris? Monday’s front-page Times story by Michael Shear was supportive but relatively muted, expressing a little uncertainly among Democrats: “After a Shaky Start, Harris Is Suddenly on Brink of Leading Democratic Ticket.” But if Harris is…

MSNBC’s Alex Wagner continued the media tradition of spreading fake news about what exactly Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker told a Catholic college during a recent commencement address. Wagner falsely reported that Butker told the women graduates “their rightful place was in service to men” as her guest, law Prof. Leah Lithman, urged viewers to vote against GOP “misogyny.”

Thursday’s Amanpour and Company demonstrated everything wrong with public broadcasting by using hushed and solemn tones to offer up the most incendiary hot takes. This particular hot take came from feminist, gender, and sexuality studies Prof. Kate Manne and NPR’s Michel Martin as they tried to tie conservatism to the recent mass stabbing in Australia.

Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin traveled to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday to promote her new book, which is part history, part memoir about her and her late husband’s experiences in the 1960s. For Goodwin and Colbert, the main takeaway was that the achievements of the 60s, such as civil rights, are currently under threat.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel was supposed to have Vice President Kamala Harris join him on Tuesday for an interview that almost certainly would have focused on how supposedly horrible the Arizona Supreme Court is for allowing an 1864 pro-life law to be enforced. Harris couldn’t make it, but that didn’t stop him from arguing with the ghost of Justice William T. Howell, played by actor Nick Offerman, and…

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell closed out her Tuesday show by deciding to pick a fight with math. Reacting to Monday’s WNBA draft, Mitchell called “sexism” on the fact that number one overall pick Caitlin Clark will have a roughly $76,000 rookie salary while her male counterpart makes slightly north of $12 million.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show brought out all the cringe on Thursday as temp host Michael Kosta labeled a recent Fox Business segment between Mark Simone and Larry Kudlow discussing abortion as “a ridiculous embarrassment.” That led him to do a sketch with Jordan Klepper where the two pretended to be stereotypical macho men who claimed to be pro-life, but also didn’t know how babies…

The calendar might say 2024, but for MSNBC’s Joy Reid, it is still 2012. On Tuesday’s installment of The ReidOut, the eponymous host declared that it was “grotesque” for pro-lifers to quote Abraham Lincoln while also demanding women “wake up” because “the Republican Party has openly declared war on women.”

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough pulls off a quintuple-header of prejudice, slamming "old, fat, white men in Mississippi" for their alleged radicalism on abortion. Scarborough thus in one phrase engages in ageism, fat-shaming, racism, sexism, and negative Southern stereotyping.
