29 female journalists sign letter denouncing SF blogger as sexist



Twenty-nine female journalists from around the San Francisco Bay Area have united against a local blogger who has made comments about many of them in his posts they describe as disturbing and sexist, commenting on the "boob power" of one anchor in one story and headlining another "Boner of the Day."

The women said in a letter posted on Medium Friday that they will no longer stay silent about Rich Lieberman, who uses his 415 Media blog — which covers local TV and radio news personalities — "to degrade women who have worked hard to earn their positions."

"He’s pitted us against each other; posted malicious rumors and gossip about us; and presented us as objects to be ogled and mocked in exchange for clicks," wrote the TV and radio journalists, both past and present, who signed the letter.
