A couple of years ago when Hillary Clinton was running for president, it was the first time ever that a woman was the presidential candidate for any party. It was a huge story in the news and so many different news sources wrote about it. The Bakersfield Californian's front page consisted of a picture of Hillary Clinton's husband Bill, not a picture of the woman who had just done one of the most amazing things in history. I find that very demeaning, it is taking away the spotlight Hillary deserved and put it on her husband who already was a president. The Los Angeles Times front page had the last 23 presidents pictures and then Hillary Clinton's picture proposing that she is going to be the next president. I feel like this is a much better way of portraying what happened because it is a huge deal for this country and women. Writers have to make sure that their article is "focusing on how their state delegation had voted", but this was before voting so you can see that certain sources were definitely taking sides.
