Who Talks?, launched March 8, will "learn who's translating and explaining national politics" for voters and publish weekly results to "draw critical attention to shows that exhibit gender imbalance and commend those that make including women's voices a priority." In the first week of analysis, Who Talks? found that Fox News' Fox & Friends and The Kelly File "were tied for worst with 14 percent female analysts," while CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 "was the best with 49 percent female analysts"




Yep when the story is about women, let's bring on the men to talk about it. Or hey let's just talk to men in general. Women don't really matter as I see. Thanks to Anderson Cooper who at least has the closest to 50/50 split. Even though this country is predominantly more female than male, we still see less and less women on TV or in the Boardroom or in Management. Or we are paid less for doing the same job. It goes on and on and on . . .
