The media has become very flowery.
Its presentation is very subjective; if a women holds that opinion it is news. The opinion page invaded the news in that respect, and the objectivity went out the window.
Bias, how could there be a perception of bias on that basis.
It is provocative to men, it may have even crashed JP’s server more than once.
The public picture held up here is representative of gender. That is the way it is reported here.
Yes, for once we got a fair shot in the media. But it didn’t come from the media. It came from the public, and I hesitate to suggest that it was a women’s thinking that did it.
Really? I don’t think that is right. Someone sat down and thought about it, and it may have been a woman, or it may not.

All you have to do is appear to have attempted suicide to be in an equally distressing situation – do you see what they are doing?
