Huh.
This would not be the headline had Barack Obama made this nomination. https://t.co/6ltRJRy3Cu

So weird, right?
Almost like there are two standards with media for men and women in the exact same position. https://t.co/Wxlk99W8yJ

Unpossible!

Hey, better late than never, right?
Media Bias 101:
