CNN: No More Sexist Coverage
Dana Bash's question to Lindsey Graham regarding whether he'd "date, marry, or make disappear forever" Secretary Hillary Clinton, Fortune-500 CEO Carli Fiorina and Governor Sarah Palin was sexist, immature and disrespectful.
We demand a public apology from CNN for its outrageous treatment of these women, and for demeaning women's equal legitimacy as political candidates and powerful members of American society.

Why is this important?
In an October 28th interview on CNN, anchorwoman Dana Bash asked Senator Lindsey Graham, "Date, marry, or disappear forever: Hillary Clinton, Carli Fiorina, Sarah Palin."[1]
This question is not actually a question -- it is a drunken bar game. It demeans the impressive achievements of all three of these women, and it has no place in serious journalism
At a time when few would argue against women's equality, CNN's actions are far from making sexism #disappearforever.
Don't let CNN get away with its sexist, immature and disrespectful treatment of not only these women, but of all women.
