A Predictably Snide and Gratuitously Insulting Article
Where to begin with your article?...except to say that it was predictably snide and gratuitously insulting.... and you dare to criticize other people's writing?
Who are you to say whether a young woman's hair is "overbleached"? Once again, the girls of Broadsheet sound exactly like 60 year old church-ladies in my hometown. When Chelsea Clinton was choosing to sport a mop of Kate Rusby corkscrew-curls, how did you refer to that so-natural hairdo?
The greatest irony (to which I can safely assume you are completely blind) is that you sneer at Meghan McCain's choice of topics for her blog.....but what exactly is "newsworthy" (your word) about your "blog", in which certain "overbleached" young women are described as "witless starlets", "acting like an idiot" or a "fake-baked blogette" who wwrites "flight, flimsy campaign coverage"????????? I don't particularly regard it as "news" when someone (you, in this case) indulges in generalizing-insults regarding particular young women they don't even know.
As for this "common journalistic practice" which you apparently hold as a standard?.....hmmm....well...no, actually I DON"T remember when Meghan McCain was known ONLY as the somewhat vapid, overbleached narrator of the McCain barbecue video...
Oh, I could go on....suffice it to say that your article was eye-poppingly mean-spirited.
I'm assuming that you consider yourself a feminist?
What have you actually done lately, except sneering?
Sincerely,
David Terry
