The New York Times vs. Hillary Clinton ("The media has a woman problem.")

....As (Rachel) Maddow laid out the series of events at the New York Times with her characteristic bemused snark rising slowly to outrage, she highlighted each successive error. Her explanation-- she does have a PhD in political science, after all–interpolated between each progressively more egregious revelation was stunning: It was impossible not to see what we already knew: The New York Times has a Hillary Clinton Problem.

What Maddow did not note is that this is not the first time the Public Editor has had to walk back a story about Hillary Clinton. This was the third time in as many months that readers had called the New York Times to task over misleading articles on Clinton....

What Maddow said validated what many of us watching from the political sidelines have thought: The media has a woman problem and that woman is Hillary Clinton, the second most powerful woman in the world and poised to become the most powerful woman on the planet and the first woman president of the United States....

It’s not just Maddow pointing out the problem at the NYT. Pundits from Jonathan Capehart at the Washington Post to Greta van Susteren at Fox News have argued that there are indeed a concentrated series of attacks on Hillary Clinton, both from the Republicans on Capitol Hill to the allegedly liberal media.

But it is just Maddow enunciating the core problem: Blatant misogyny. Blatant targeting of Hillary Clinton, the only viable female candidate for president in our collective lifetimes.

And that’s why this matters....
