The witch ain't dead, and Chris Matthews is a ding-dong
The glee with which Matthews and other angry male pundits prematurely danced on Hillary's grave made me -- for one night only -- a Clinton supporter.
By Rebecca Traister [2008-01-09]

  • The Press shapes our reactions.

    Those who don't like Hillary yet think the media is being unfair don't seem to realize that their dislike comes from the media and other sources. When she laughs, she is faking it. When she cries, she is faking it. To her detractors, Hillary is always wrong. Therefore her emotions, whatever they are, are not "real." This picture has been pushed by the media for so long that we don't even realize that we have acquired our attitudes from that media.

    We don't like her because we don't like her because we don't like her. I ask people who don't like her to tell me why they don't. Most of them can't.
