MediaMatters.Org Nails Cable News for Sexist Remarks
It didn’t take long, as I’ve reported in earlier posts, for Obama backers and the good old boys network in the media to launch an all out sexist assault on Sarah Palin. Respected media watch dog, MediaMatters.Org was all over it immediately:

None of us are free if one of us is in chains. You can't stop this asinine treatment of Gov. Palin until we're ready to look at our bully culture and our society of violence and depraved indifference to human life. Women aren't exempt from blame. Condoleezza Rice has trouble making speeches because of all the blood running down her hands. It's soaking into her clothing, and dripping off of her fingers, and forming into brilliant red pools of human blood. There were women in the SS, too. Like Herta Bothe. "She had a good time shooting at weak female prisoners carrying food containers from the kitchen to the block with her pistol" at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The United States is walking the wrong road.
