Media Bias Alert on the Fashion Front



Media bias once again rears it's ugly head (are we surprised?)

Flashback to the second presidential debate and what we didn't see was a fashion show of sorts. The first lady, Michelle Obama, and the first lady wannabe, Ann Romney, were decked out in pink. One would think they did what women do...called each other to see what the other was wearing to the big bash. Not the case here. Both women were wearing pink highlighting  Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The big news here is, if you were reading US Weekly, was their headline,  "Ann Romney Wears $1,690 Oscar de la Renta Dress to Presidential Debate." The hit here was to highlight President Obama's worn-out references to the Romney's wealth. Absent from the headline was Michelle Obama's rags and price tag. US Weekly reported in the story that the first lady was wearing...." a shift dress and cropped jacket from Michael Kors' 2013 resort collection. The dress retails for $1,795 and the jacket is $1,495."  Do the math...Michelle's outfit, dress and jacket together, totaled $3,290. Ann Romney was a pauper in her $1,690 rags, but US Weekly, showed their liberal bias, headlined Mrs. Romney's wardrobe to give the impression of her extravagance. Shameful.
