Media Interested in Men Only?

Article in L.A. Times by Lorrain Ali, 11/2/24

Headline:  “Ali: The election is supposedly about women’s issues. Why are the media so obsessed with men?”

Subhead:  “There’s been no shortage of wide-lens examinations into the political leanings of the Y chromosome set.”

“You could fill Madison Square Garden and the Ellipse with the number of stories focused on where male energy is amassing in this election. How will young men vote? What about men’s economic concerns? Trump is gaining support among men of color, say some polls. On the other hand, Harris may be gaining ground with Black men … while she’s losing with Latino men.”

“. . . Fixating on the male voter does make sense in other quarters, like a controversial ad created by the Progress Action Fund now airing in swing states. It uses the intrinsically female issue of abortion and turns it into an issue for men.”
