Beltway media is losing the high ground to, of all things, twitter. This week twitter posts have continuously focused on what perhaps may be the real reason for Manchin’s dislike of Neera. Manchin’s daughter earned a lot of money representing the pharmaceutical company responsible for producing and increasing the price of the EpiPen by almost 500%. People died because they could no longer afford this life saving tool. But she made money for herself and the company. Neera tweeted about it, something I’m sure Manchin would have preferred be kept quiet.

This is always the case with the Beltway press. Systematic internalized sexism isn't going away. No one remembers exactly what the press said about Clinton as all they really covered was Trump. But her emails...but Bengahzi...But look DT is talking about Megan Kelley and grabbing women. Look, he's kissing his daughter. BUT Hillary lost because she didn't go to Wisconsin. On behalf of all women, take a seat. As a grassroots journalist, I have been there. The infighting that goes on between female journalists as we all try to get a seat at the big table. Sexism isn't dead, it isn't even hiding. And Neera Tandem is another victim of an unwillingness to discuss this topic on the part of everyone. Thanks for addressing it.
