From today’s New York Times on the question of sexism in the MSM:
Any suggestion that MSNBC “was somehow out to ‘get’ Senator Clinton is false and unfair,” Mr. Olbermann wrote in an e-mail message. “We became a whipping boy.” He said that after Feb. 5, when Mrs. Clinton went on a losing streak, her campaign strategy was to blame the news media, which he said was “its only fuel.” Still, he said, there was “constant reflection and analysis at MSNBC, and I must say there was constant good faith in trying to make certain Senator Clinton was not treated unfairly.”
Really? Was there ever any “reflection” at MSNBC on why Chris Matthews was allowed to continue anchoring election night coverage even after his tingly leg comment on Obama speeches? Was there ever any “reflection” on why Keith Olbermann was allowed to continue anchoring election night coverage even after he compared Clinton’s campaign to apartheid South Africa?
