It’s good for columnists not to live in Washington, says Boston Globe syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman (available as a link, to your left, under Politics / United States). “There are too many insiders there; they go to dinner with each other, talk to each other and then have breakfast with each other. So, in professional terms, they’re all talking to each other.”
Goodman tells Anthony Violanti, of the Buffalo News, that political talk shows “are, by and large, men screaming at other men in front of a male audience. I get annoyed with these shows and I think most women do. Women in general have had quite enough angry men in their lives.”
