What pictures are you looking at? Care to provide links?

That was when he mathematically won based on the primaries; however, he didn’t “officially” get the nomination until the convention which was Aug 27. That is the analogous event here.

I suspect that you have started to research this and realize how badly reality fails to support with your preconceived notion of a sexist plot, so I’ll help you out:

Fail. Who is “they”? If “they” used stock photos should be pretty easy to tell me who did this? And did “they” use a stock photo as their main image?

Yes, stock photos exist. Yes, newspapers use them. But not for above the fold, main stories for which a photo exists of the event or story in question. If you insist on saying that is common journalistic practice, I’d like for you to point me to just one similar instance of this occurring after a nomination has become…

Got it. So because I have not lived your exact experience, I can offer no meaningful commentary on your reaction to objective events - such as newspapers choosing to run actual pictures taken at an event in an effort to portray as realistically as possible for readers the activities that occurred during that event…

Again, how often has a stock photo been used to announce that a candidate’s nomination has become official after a floor vote on the front page of major newspapers?

This is no more your experience than it is mine. Or have you also been nominated for president of the United States before and had your husband give a speech to mark the occasion which newspapers then took pictures of?

SHE. WASN’T. THERE. That is not the newspapers’ fault. Or did all of the male editors and reporters across the land engage in some sort of elaborate Oceans 11 heist to delay and distract her from reaching the floor in time? It is her campaign’s responsibility, not the newspaper editors, to set the optics for her…

How hard is this to comprehend? Newspapers report on events that actually happen. They have photographers take pictures at those events. Then they put those pictures in the newspaper. There is nothing inherently “gendered” or “sexist” in those actions. If you want to be mad at somebody be mad at the DNC or Hillary for…

I love how you’re reflexively disregarding any opinion that comes from a man simply because the point was made by a man. Such a great choice and certainly bound to win over lots of people to your way of thinking.

Yup I’m a dude. Strong sleuthing work there, detective. So you’re able to deduce that I’m a man but you’re not able to reconcile the fact that newspaper editors don’t want to illustrate a story about a major event with a photo that wasn’t taken at the event? Yes USA Today managed to work it into their front page but…

If you can find other instances where a front-page, above-the-fold story about an event was illustrated with a photo not taken at the event, then I might concede that this was some sort subtle bias at play. Go back and look at the coverage for every other convention and I’m guessing you’ll find that the photos used to…

Newspapers generally illustrate stories about an event with photos taken at that event. And Hillary Clinton, as anti-climactic as it might seem from a photo-journalistic point of view, was NOT AT THE EVENT! No conspiracy. No trying to keep women in their place. No making it about men. You went looking for an excuse to…

He seems like a very sincere, positive guy who wants to do good in the world and I just hope one day he finds a religion that doesn’t make him feel bad about who he really is.

It was the state of Georgia that funded the new Georgia Dome by renewing the hotel/motel tax that pays for it. Yes the city of Atlanta will be paying for some (relatively) minor infrastructure but without. True the mayor was a major cheerleader for the effort but there was significant resistance within the council and…

It’s nice to be noticed.

a treasure as always
