Rush Limbaugh Isn’t the Only Media Misogynist

[ProSense]

13. Excellent comment.

I was all set to agree with this post, but then I went and read the whole article. And I'm sorry, but very little of what is referenced really rises to the level of "misogyny."

For instance:

"Matthews has wondered aloud whether Sarah Palin is even “capable of thinking” and has called Bachmann a “balloon head” and said she was “lucky we still don’t have literacy tests out there.” Democratic strategist Jehmu Greene, who is the former president of the Women’s Media Center, told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly in 2011 that Matthews
“is a bully, and his favorite target is women.” So why does he still have a show? What if his favorite target was Jews? Or African-Americans?"

Now, everything here might be insulting, but it's certainly not misogyny. Any of those descriptions could apply to any man in the race for president, and actually does apply to many of them. Just like several people pointed out that "batshit crazy" applies equally well to Ron Paul and Michelle Bachmann.

Well said. Yes, there are offenders (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002379474), but let's not lump everything into one basket. Please don't try to distract from the fact that Limbaugh is under fire because he's a vile pig.

The title implies that there are equivalents to this vile blowhard.

"Rush Limbaugh Isn’t the Only Media Misogynist"

Misogyny is prevalent in the media. Still, there is no need to lump everyone in with Limbaugh, especially in light of the current incident, which has no equivalent.
