Dean derides 'sexist' media coverage
Last updated: August 7, 2008 - 11:29am
Asked if a recent suggestion that sexism among journalists has hurt Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean on Sunday strongly criticized the media's coverage of the presidential race, saying it has been sexist. "There has been an enormous amount of sexism in this campaign on the part of the media, including the mainstream media," Dean said on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos". "We'll leave present company excepted, because I think that's true. But there have been major networks that have featured numerous outrageous comments that if the words were reversed and they were about race, the people would have been fired."
