HRC

“Such an analysis reveals the ways in which the mediation practices of television news naturalize HRC’s image, resulting in a more dominant and evolving collective memory of someone who has been called one of the “most loved and hated presidential wives in American history” (Gould, 1996, p. 641).”
This statement is very true. Especially when referring to the fact that Hilary Clinton is indeed one of history’s most loved and hated women. She is more famous than a celebrity and more powerful than many political figures, yet many feel she lacks some important qualities. I for one am not a fan of Mrs. Clinton, but nevertheless, I will agree that she is a very smart, successful, and strong woman. She is fearless and should be feared herself. Even though Hilary Clinton had the vote of many Americans, she still was criticized for her appearance and everyone knows about the reference to her pant suits. Media has such a huge influence on society today and it truly affects the views and opinions of us Americans as a whole. Why do we bash and look down upon strong women? Are they not any better than a man? Is it truly because of their clothing and makeup? I would agree that our country has much bigger things going on and more important things to worry about then whether Hilary is wearing another pant suit. No one thought twice about her former husband’s appearance. Women deserve to be treated as equal and given the same chance to prove themselves to America as the great women they are, whether it be Hilary Clinton, or Sarah Palin.
