FU - media, part 1/n

Bringing back the short format without links since I have a lot to say and a short attention span...
Can we please stop throwing our female presidential candidates under the bus?  Please just focus on articles on the latest Trump fuckups and let the voters decide who they want in the Democratic primary.  It's really obvious now that there are multiple female and minority candidates for president. Hollee fuck this is getting annoying.  Do the math.  Raising 3% less money than Joe Biden in three months is not a sign that doom is imminent, nor is one generic tweet that says essentially the same thing as all the other candidates regarding Trump's attack on Iran. The media glorifies all the white guys, ignores the qualified male minority candidates and giddily throws the female candidates under the bus one at a time to maximize their views. 
On a related note, can we please stop acting like Pete Buttiegieg is a super genius because he went to Harvard and got a Rhodes Scholarship without also mentioning that Cory Booker did pretty much the same, albeit he went to Stanford.  Likewise, Julian Castro also went to Stanford.  The only reason I know these things because I'm also an alum from the same era. Sheesh.
