- MSNBC's Ed Schultz was suspended for one week for calling talk radio host Laura Ingraham a "slut" twice on air. Sigh. There are many ways to call out Ingraham for her backwards politics. Calling her a slut shouldn't be one of them. [The Wrap]
- How much good did Oprah Winfrey do in her 25 years on air? While she did raise awareness about domestic violence, gay rights, eating disorders, and AIDS, she also devoted a hell of a lot of time shilling products that would make us fabulous and talking about weight loss. [Women In Media & News]
- A Texas judge plans to void the marriage of a transgender woman, whose firefighter husband died last year on the job, so she cannot access his death benefits. The widower was born a man and because Texas does not recognize same-sex marriage, her husband's family does not think she's entitled to the money. Ugh, do any of these people have a heart? [Newser]
