They
Do Whatever They Want to Do Towards Women Like Me
By Mike Ross
A couple of years back, a friend of Hillary Clintons told me the candidate-to-be was disappointed that the first woman to edit the New York Times veteran investigative reporter Jill Abramson wasnt more sympathetic to her plight as a feminist pioneer in politics.
..........................
She does get more scrutiny than other candidates especially male candidates, Abramson told me during a 50-minute interview for POLITICOs Off Message podcast last week. When I asked her if Clintons arch-defender David Brock had a point when he lashed the Times for giving the Clintons an unfair level of scrutiny, she interrupted to agree.
Yeah, I do, said Abramson who was ousted in 2014 after reportedly complaining that her compensation package was inferior to that of her male predecessor, Bill Keller.
[W]e, for some reason, expect total purity from a woman candidate, added Abramson, who rose to the top job in 2011. I did not feel, during my regime, that we were giving her way more scrutiny than anyone else. But, she said, Where I think Hillary Clinton faces, you know, certainly more of a burden is that the controversies shes been in are immediately labeled, you know, Travel-gate or Email-gate
if you actually asked people what about any of these controversies bothers them, they dont know anything specific about any of them.
