Stories like this are low hanging fruit. Easy to find, and makes for eyeball popping headlines.
Correction: J.David Stern was the owner of the Washington Post in 1933, but that just shows how things have not changed much from those days.
“As long as they spell the name right.” :dubious:
Devil’s advocacy!
Actually the CNN coverage isn’t as lame as it sounds, which is pretty lame. There was a small segment of the population 30 years who didn’t believe that the country was ready for a female President (e.g. my great Aunt and even she qualified her claim with the word “Yet”). Presumably there’s a sliver possessing this POV today. But they are difficult to find, sort of like the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker. Still, the notion exists. And methinks it’s best to get it out of the way now.
It’s sort of funny that they had to dredge up a publicist in order to attach a warm body to this ludicrous position.
We didn’t destroy the party. We just chose to elect it on a system of strict gender parity: one man, one woman. No other political party in Canada has come close to that standard. 
Isn’t that cute. CNN thinks it’s news.
Isn’t that sad. Some people have been fooled.
“News” as presented on television is not news; it is bait. The broadcasters are using the promises of titillation, terror, and recreational outrage to capture the attention of millions of people so they can turn around and sell that attention to purveyors of automobiles, cat food, and hemorrhoid cream.
NEVER turn to a so-called “news channel” when turning on a television. Terror, titillation, and opportunities for recreational outrage are presented far more effectively from virtually any alternative source. And those don’t stain your soul by deluding you into a belief that you are “keeping yourself informed.”
And that’s different from the rest of tv how?
Plugh!
You're at Y2.
Stop the presses!
Message board poster said “Plugh!”
Straight Dope Message Board poster Senegoid today wrote “Plugh!” in a post. The meaning of the word wasn’t immediately apparent, but was widely thought to be of some importance. Repeated calls to Senegoid’s last known phone were not immediately answered.
Clickbait. Good for their numbers, just like for any tabloid - er, major news outlet.
The rest of TV doesn’t enable you to pretend that you’re being responsible and keeping yourself informed (as I pointed out in my next paragraph).
Keep trying. He bought the New York Post in 1933. He never owned the Washington Post.
Well… we don’t get to elect the next King of Westeros.
See, I always think of this song when I hear a stupid news story…
Who cares about the facts? We want a good story. We want outrage!
