It's ALMOST as if when a WHITE MAN writes about RACE & GENDER, everything is viewed through a white male lens. If your confirmation bias exempts you from understanding how white male privilege works in a white male-driven society & MSM, you'll write a piece like this.

I've been writing about how badly women are covered in this primary for a year. It has forced two of our best, most progressive senators, @SenGillibrand and @KamalaHarris, out already; the long knives are out for the next one, @ewarren. Race + gender made it worse for Harriis.

The only black woman candidate in a quarter century, @KamalaHarris, would still be in this race if her historic candidacy had gotten the same MSM attention as @BetoORourke, who got the 2nd most MSM stories, like his launch with a Vanity Fair cover and Annie Liebovitz photos.

Ignoring who makes these editorial decisions means nothing has been learned from 2016 when misogynist media (led by quite a few men who have since been called out as sexual abusers in #MeToo) framed @HillaryClinton in persistently negative language and context.

1 in 5 Americans is Latinx. 12% is black. That's a THIRD of the population. 51% of America is female. The article should be why has the MSM centered Biden, Bernie, Buttigieg & Beto--who together received SEVENTY TWO PERCENT of the MSM coverage--over women & POC candidates?
