(OMED: Certain references to national socialism in the text below were taken directly from signs carried by pseudo-feminists in public demonstrations between 1960 and 2003.)

Femi-Nazi Martha Burke, National Charwoman of the National Council of Women’s Organizations said during a mid-February PBS Lehrer News Hour interview,  “Television is still a media run by men.” 

   The interview itself was about the idiotic attack on the men’s golf club that hosts the Masters tournament (April 7-13), one of the most important competitions in the sport.  The female fascists of the extreme left have already frightened half of America’s males into giving up everything that used to make them men, but a few stalwart holdouts still stand as magnificent examples of what America once produced. 
   Hootie Johnson (shown here with Tiger Woods)  is the boss of  the all-male Master’s bunch, and an odd target for liberals.  He helped desegregate South Carolina University and personally pushed women into executive jobs with Banker’s Trust.  Sexist racists should be made of sterner stuff. 

   But, the moronic Miss Burke has been hammering on him, threatening demonstrations during the annual spring event if he doesn't ignore the club's constitutional right to freedom of association for private organizations, and install women in positions of power.  Advertisers have been frightened away, but that is not surprising.  It doesn’t take much to frighten advertisers, even ones the size of Chrysler.  Jesse Jackson can blackmail corporations like that with a single phone call threatening 20 demonstrators in front of the company’s headquarters.  This is because the mainstream media, CBS included, will go anywhere Jesse sends them, and cover any event he orders them to cover, then run the segment exactly as he has edited it.
   It's how the good Christian reverend manages to afford a wife and family and a mistress and family at the same time.

   But, when Miss Burke started threatening reprisals against Tiger Woods, who this year following his recent surgery is swinging well and has a chance to win his third Masters in a row, she got an earful from another successful black man. 
   Bryant Gumbel, in a recent HBO sports show, labeled Burke’s attack on the Masters as “extortion.”  When she compared sexism to racism, Gumbel said, "You don't worry about your safety on this, do you? Nobody gets shot over women's rights. Nobody gets beaten or lynched over women's rights!"
   Tiger, interested in making golf history by winning his third consecutive (fourth overall) Green Jacket, has politely refused to kowtow to Miss Burke.
   It all leaves Miss Burke floundering a bit, and has forced her to take alternate approaches.  One of these is the aforementioned  criticism that television is a male-dominated profession, which is why CBS is carrying the sexist Masters.

   Since CBS is, just as she said, carrying the Masters, I looked up a few items on their site.
   The morning CBS lineup is as follows:  Up to the Minute, Morning News  Lynne Pitts (Executive Producer), Market Watch Report and the Early Show:   Here's the sexist staffing picture.  Melissa McDermott (anchor),  Susan McGinnis (Anchor),  Alexis Christopheris (Anchor),  Hanna Storm (Anchor), Julie Chen (Anchor), Rene Syler (Anchor), Harry Smith (Anchor) 
   A search of the network executive structure turned up women in charge. Investigative areas, general news, programming, they’re all over the place.
   Four CBS morning news shows.  Seven anchors.  Six women and one man.  All of it followed by the Martha Stewart Show.  Television is dominated by men?
    This is why Martha Burke is widely considered to be a complete joke.
