Media Sexism
Regardless of Baby-Snatcher Palin's sexist views about women (which make no sense given she's in politics), why is it okay for the media to be equally sexist in the questions it puts to her? I mean, the media is an institution and you'd think along with eradicating institutional racism, we'd be working on sexism, too. Because the argument is being made that Palin puts her holy motherdom out there as a qualification for office so it's fair game for the media to go after her on it.
But is it fair to other female politicians? No, it isn't. It's media sexism and it needs to be stamped out. All kinds of idiots run for political office, it should be up to the media to maintain a standard of behaviour that doesn't stoop to the idiot level in its questioning of their credentials. If a politician held racist views, for instance, would it be okay for the media to ask him racist questions? No. No it wouldn't. C'mon people - wake up to the sexism in media and just say "No More Sexism".
