November 13th, 2016 11:23 PM

Pre-Results NYT: Hill a Feminist Hero, Trump's 'Anti-Semitic' Support

November 9th, 2016 6:01 PM
During the New York Times rather sedate and solemn (wonder why?) live election night coverage, reporter Maggie Haberman whined that “the amount of open misogyny during this campaign has been really striking, from a lot of Trump’s supporters.” Sarah Lyall’s front-page story in Wednesday’s edition (before most of the results were in) also took a feminist angle: “Many Women Feel Echoes of History in…
