Huh.

This would not be the headline had Barack Obama made this nomination. https://t.co/6ltRJRy3Cu

There's documented evidence that it wouldn't be in the headline. https://t.co/9WnJxn7F34

So weird, right?

Almost like there are two standards with media for men and women in the exact same position. https://t.co/Wxlk99W8yJ

Unpossible!

So much for the @AP being impartial.

Hey, better late than never, right?

Media Bias 101:

Both people were involved in the interrogation program.

Only the Republican nominated woman has it brought up when she is confirmed. https://t.co/gMiyFLt2Ye
