After refusing to allow reporter @thisislarrison to join him for a ride-along reporting trip because she’s a woman, GOP gubernatorial candidate Robert Foster shared this clip showing male reporter Zach Holbrook from Magee News joining him for a ride-along today. #mselex
“We’re here live today with Robert Foster, where it’s his truck, his rules,” Magee News reporter Zach Holobrook says, referring to the candidate’s hashtag #MyTruckMyRules and the rule he cited to bar a woman reporter from a similar ride-along this past week. #mselex 
As if to make the point that a ride-along is a privilege male reporters have greater access to than women like @thisislarrison, Foster shared MageeNews.com’s clip of a ride-along this morning in which he actually let a male reporter drive his truck. #MSelex
My op-ed: “If I had known when I sat down with Foster in January that a woman doing the same job as me would not have been afforded the same opportunity unless she acquiesced to the indignity of having a male chaperone, I wouldn't have done it.” #MSelex
