According to this report Obama only took questions from women in his end-of-year press conference. Anyone know what the story is behind this? I find it notable that he omitted questions from major networks - are there no women reporters for major networks? I spend a lot of time on the gendergap in the arts but know little about journalism. Anyone know what the male/female ratio is there?
