The popularity of one of the longest-running shows on television, COPS, says a lot about how fascinated Americans continue to be with “law and order,” and the sensational aspects of what happens when people suffer from mental illness, get addicted to drugs, abuse themselves and others, and/or take out their misdirected rage (including misogyny, homophobia, […]

It was bound to happen: after debunking Heritage Foundation and Independent Women’s Forum media misrepresentations, factual inaccuracies and anti-feminist bias for the last decade, yesterday I debated representatives of both of those organizations on PBS’s all-female debate show, To The Contrary.
Panelists were:
– Me (Jennifer L. Pozner, Executive Director Women In Media & News)
– Michelle Bernard, […]

Question:
Wouldn’t it be awesome if all the nativist nutjobs like long-shot Republican presidential hopeful Tom Tancredo were trapped in these things? They’d be too busy watching their own perimeters to waste our time with their racist claptrap.
P.S. I didn’t need to draw a cartoon about Rudy running this week, cause I did it […]

I watched Veronica Mars (for the first time ever), because I read about how tonight’s episode, titled “There’s Got to Be a Morning-After Pill,” was supposedly about how a woman miscarried after someone slipped her EC. The CW network’s promotional material said:

Cross-posted from the Feminist Peace Network blog:
Three Iranian women journalists were recently arrested on their way to attend a journalism conference in India and face prosecution. According to a report on the Ms. Magazine website,
“Two of the three, Talat Taghinia and Mansoureh Shojai write for online journal Zanestan (which translates to “City of Women”), an […]

If those of you among our 47,775 readers (in January alone!) live in Massachusetts, I’d love to see you next Monday, Feb. 12, at a multimedia presentation I’m conducting at Stonehill College in Easton, MA, titled:
“Reproductive Wrongs: Exposing Media Misinformation About Abortion, Family Planning and Clinic Violence”
Have you ever wondered why:
…On Sept. 11, 2006, the […]

I know, I know. Stop the presses for another shocker:
Superbowl ads are sexist.
But have you seen Walmart’s ads? They feature women taping their fingers to slide them into… oven mitts, donning aprons to the swelling score of sports music, and high-fiving their way through a cheering crowd on their way to… […]
