I like to watch Battlestar Galactica
Where interestingly not only has it become the best show on television but young Representative Lee Adama (Jamie Barber) has become the equivalent of Barack Obama, a young, charismatic first-term Congressional member fighting against the establishment and the entrenched, powerful elite as signified by a powerful autocratic, lead character who just happens to be female, the Hillary Clinton prototype Laura Roslin (Mary McCormick).
But interestingly, since its first week lead story, Battlestar Galactica has suddenly disappeared from Salon since it started illuminating this storyline (Lee Adama/Barack Obama i.e. young honestly Democratic leadership v.s. the old, autocratic style of leadership that must automatically be allowed to continue simply for being female despite its overly aggressive warlike/repressive/dictatorial tendancies simply because it is female i.e. Laura Roslin/Hillary Clinton.)
Anyway no surprise here.
Any time a series happens to call it as it is, even if it is disturbingly accurate, it is automatically dismissive if the male happens to be even remotely positive and the female could even possibly be construed as negative.
So I'll continue watching Battlestar Galactica (which again earned a front page story right here on Salon not a month ago) and enjoying it despite the fact I now know I will never be able to see it even remotely covered in Salon. Oh well, just another casualty in the constant attempt to prove that all that is female is right and all that is male is wrong, no matter what.
Does anyone else remember when Salon used to be a real website/magazine? Oh well Joan Walsh, by her gender-baiting anti-male bias, has built up readership so God forbid any of us question her, ever. Great job, Salon (in being the female equivalent of the John Birch Society.) Keep up the good (actually bad but whatever) work.
