At the president’s year-end press conference, Obama called only on women, fielding questions from a total of eight reporters. Not one was a man! Patriarchy is over! The reporters Obama called on (via The Washington Post) are: Carrie Budoff Brown, (Politico), Cheryl Bolen (Bloomberg), Julie Pace (Associated Press), Lesley Clark (McClatchy), Roberta Rampton (Reuters), Colleen M. Nelson (Wall Street Journal), Juliet Eilperin (Washington Post), April Ryan (American Urban Radio). Some people who participate in Politics Twitter offered some fun instant takes. Was Obama punishing TV reporters for their networks’ decision to forego carrying his immigration speech?
