THREAD:
I have been covering this election since December 2018 when it started.
I have lost count of the number of columns, articles and tweet threads that I've written about how the women candidates were treated by MSM--ignored and made invisible compared to male candidates. 1/

I'm not blaming male candidates for getting more coverage--why wouldn't they embrace all that FREE ad time?
I have been told repeatedly that I was "biased" toward @KamalaHarris. Because I covered her FAIRLY.
As I have all the women candidates (even Williamson and Gabbard.) 2/

And perhaps it means nothing to some or even most of you that @CNNPolitics put up more videos of Biden than of Warren and Klobuchar combined. But it DOES matter. I don't kid myself that people are reading my 1k, 3k, 5k pieces when they can read a tweet and watch a video. 3/

This is cheating. Candidates themselves aren't doing it, but MSM is doing it. Women are getting cheated--two of our best senators were forced out of the race because they got less press or more negative press and no free air time. Biden literally got 400x the press of Harris. 4/

This is CASH.
Free air time is CASH.
After the NV debate, Biden--not Warren who won that debate hands down--got a 15min free no questions asked love fest interview on MSNBC. That is CASH.
Harris & Gillibrand are out of the race because they did not have the money to continue. 5/

So when people tell me to "get over it" or "it's not that big a deal" --it is. I endorsed Harris in January 2017. I endorsed Gillibrand in January 2017. I said they were THE ticket for 2020: two progressive feminist women with stellar resumes who never got to be voted for. 6/

Warren and Klobuchar have gotten nearly EVERY newspaper & magazine endorsement. Yet the white male pundit class keeps demanding they drop out. Why? So three 78yr old white men who can only be one-termers can run without pesky women of substance in the way? Ask yourselves WHY. 7/
