Seattle Times issues apology for front page photograph of Bill Clinton

Source: CBS News, by John Bat

When Hillary Clinton clinched the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday, making her the first woman presidential nominee of a major party in U.S. history, multiple major newspapers chose to run with a front-page photograph of former President Bill Clinton.

The Seattle Times was one of the newspapers that ran with a photograph of Bill's stump speech, and they, along with others, were accused of sexism on social media for the editorial decision.

Talk about missing the mark....I guess they need to get cut bad by the falling shards off the glass ceiling before they finally get the damn spirit.

add up to institutional sexism - this in the print news media.
