If only women's votes had been counted in the last two elections, Al Gore and John Kerry would have won hands down
A column on the dearth of women columnists but this blurb is indeed noteworthy.
As the right's mythmakers continue their assault on the so-called "left-wing media" — the attack on public broadcasting being only the most recent example — many media outlets have caved in to the pressure and redoubled their efforts to avoid that liberal taint. Consider this: On CNN and MSNBC, presumably the most liberal cable news channels, conservative commentators outnumbered liberals 10 to 1 (CNN) and 13 to 2 (MSNBC) during the Jan. 20 coverage of President Bush's inauguration.And if adopting protective conservative coloring is the media's goal, then women might as well toss their keyboards out the window. That's because women aren't necessarily nicer, or less interested in science, or more interested in recipes than men, but we are more liberal. Study after study has documented a persistent "gender gap" in American politics. If only women's votes had been counted in the last two elections, Al Gore and John Kerry would have won hands down.

Women are more liberal, and made with the main social purpose to provide supporting roles to men--tempering steel, and nurturing the next generation, also under a man's direction. This, instead of impudently occupying positions of authority directly and making a mockery of both themselves and the country they represent.
As for the media being "conservative"--what a laugher! Only if one is an anarchist or communist could one consider the socialist propaganda factories of US and world media conservative. LOL
