A new poll released Tuesday found that most people believe the media's treatment of the women involved in the presidential campaign this year was highly sexist, and that Sarah Palin was not only treated far worse by the press than Joe Biden, but she was also covered much more harshly than Hillary Clinton.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Yeah. Not a word on any of those topics, that's for sure. It's going to be a stressful trip to AZ for this surgery of his. I'm staying with my brother and his wife, also known as Mr. and Mrs. Bickerson. Nobody knows I fell off the smoking wagon after 7 months, so I'm back on Chantix to quit again, so I am stressing myself out totally. I'm the only one in my huge extended family who smokes, except on my husband's side.

The religion topic:

My aunt is a retired mother superior. She has never preached religion to my dad, whom along with several brothers, gave up Catholicism. She is a sweetpea if ever there was one, and she sent me a prayer to give to my dad in a quiet moment. I don't think I'll have a quiet moment with him, since I arrive the day before the surgery, and of course the prayer pertains to death, so I am feeling stressed about that, too. I think I will cut and paste the prayer and send it to him. Aren't families complicated?

Sorry, I digressed on your thread.

FAQ

I don't know if Palin was treated more harshly for gender reasons of not.

I do know she was treated harshly because she's a dolt.

"I'll go find some and bring'em to ya! <wink>
