WaPo's Wemple Has Eye For Male Journos

You may have noticed that WaPo‘s Erik Wemple has been playing closer attention to the males that appear on Cable TV. He took time the other day to comment on their shirts, ties, facial and head hair. Is he aiming for a gig at Metro Weekly? Nah…he was making a point, that was recently picked up by Name It Change It, a non-partisan project affiliated with the Women’s Media Center, whose mission is to end sexist and misogynistic coverage of women candidates by all members of the media.

Good luck with that, right?

But Wemple is taking an interesting stab at the issue by partaking in a practice usually reserved for female pundits and journos whose looks are constantly assessed in crass and complimentary ways.
