From dailykos link:

What role do you see sexism and misogyny playing in the coverage of this race? My view was that it was quite prevalent in 2008, and shamefully, much of it from the left.

Unfortunately, sexism and misogyny can be found across the political spectrum. There is no doubt that those attitudes played a part in the coverage of Hillary Clinton in 2008—and in fact throughout her career. Women have made many advances, but our media still reflects the traditional sexism of our society—one of the few advanced countries in the world that has yet to elect a female leader. I hope that we will see less of the gross sexism that disfigured political coverage in 2008.
