"So at this stage, her legacy is primarily of style, of an accessible, empathetic politician who preferred "kindness" to confrontation and was ultimately less admired at home than she was overseas."

One wonders if this male journalist would have used the same words to describe Ardern's legacy if Ardern had been a man?

Really disappointing piece from the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-64328433

One wonders whether or not the author of this Vox opinion piece—or his editor and publisher at Vox would have written these same words if the U.S. Supreme Court Justices in question were men. (Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, are aged 68 and 62, respectively.)

"Sotomayor and Kagan need to think about retiring":

Really, really shoddy "journalism" from Vox.

A lot of journalists really appear to have dropped the ball on researching this candidate BEFORE he was elected.

"Incoming congressman’s claims his grandparents fled the Holocaust contradicted by genealogy records": https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/21/politics/george-santos-geneaology/index.html

Dear Journalists: PLEASE stop boosting Trump's social media rants. It's dangerous to feed a fire with oxygen, and THAT is EXACTLY what you're doing when you post screenshots of his narcissistic tantrums.

You're just giving him the air he craves. It's IRRESPONSIBLE.

Also? His ranting is OLD NEWS. He was VOTED OUT. So, your continued "reporting" about him reveals more about YOU than about him.

Stop being lazy. Dig. Write. Inspire. Be real journalists again.
