Art Imitating Life: Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on SNL

The sexism that has completely consumed this election (on both sides of the campaign) is comically parodied by Saturday Night Live. If nothing else maybe the mainstream media distributors can stand back and take a look at themselves in the mirror that the comedy sketch offers up.

She is a proud 2007 Livingston College graduate of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey and earned her Master’s degree from the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism in 2009.

Real Talk: The purpose of journalism is not to tell you what to think, but to tell you what to think about and then the rest is up to you. A professor once asked me why I was pursuing a Master’s degree in journalism when it seems as though print news is dying and all the topics are depressing. I said, “Because the more people know, the better equipped they will be to change all of that.”
