Russert Meets the Ladies

By Chris Ariens 

HuffPost‘s Rachel Sklar noticed something about last week’s Meet the Press. And it has nothing to do with Stephen Colbert.

I noticed something instantly: Tim Russert‘s first panel featured Doris Kearns Goodwin, Kate O’Beirne, Judy Woodruff and Sally Bedell Smith — all women. It’s not that there are never women on MTP…it’s also not rare for the opening panel to consist homogeneously of one sex. It’s just damned rare for that one sex to be female.”
