It seems to me in the GOP Primary, FOX “News” is “playing First Pest.”
That thing where they insisted on Carly Fiorina by her first name because she was a women when they called the men by their last.... Look, I hate her policies, but I am furious on her behalf. That sort of blatant sexism should have no place in political discourse, but is absolutely inexcusable from moderators of a nationally televised debate.
It wasn’t acceptable when it was an obsession with Hilary Clinton’s hair and femininity generally. It was not acceptable when it was sexualized attacks, or worse yet, praise of Palin. (That creepy ass National review winking boner thing... *shudder* I do not want to know one way or another if a pundit got a boner during a political event).
