If you're shaking your head as you watch the U.S. media coverage of Michelle Obama and wondering why “an educated, successful lawyer, devoted wife and caring mother has been labeled 'angry'and unpatriotic and snidely referred to as Barack Obama's 'baby mama'” you'll want to check out Michelle Obama Watch for analysis.
Obviously we can't depend on the media to weed out its own racism and sexism (we can see how well that hasn't worked so far!). It's crucial that viewers/readers complain and demand unbiased reporting. You might also want to sign this petition by the Women's Media Center: Sexism Sells, But We're Not Buying It!

likes to write things down and is a firm believer in the John Lennon quote, "If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliché that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal." She's written a middle grade sci-fi and multiple young adult books including I KNOW IT'S OVER, YESTERDAY, and DELICATE. Her most recent novel, released under the name Cara Martin, is a creepy horror centring around a kidnapping and a malevolent house.
