I'm just not seeing Povitch's "teeming".

In fact, she herself denies your very position. http://jezebel.com/5941690/former-newsweek-revolutionary-lynn-povitch-says-that-workplace-gender-equality-still-has-a-long-way-to-go

Well, TVM for all the research. I think "denies" is a little strong as a descriptor of that Jezebel piece, but I take your point.

But anyway, we're not going to get anywhere with this. I can see, if I cared to take you on, stretching into my future an endless series of...

"I'll see your Leslie Moonves (Pres. CBS News) and raise you a Deborah Turness (Pres. NBC News)"

"I'll see your Tony Hall (BBC DG) and raise you a Helen Boaden (Dir BBC tv)"

"I'll see your Gary Barber (CEO MGM) and raise you an Amy Pascal (co-chairman Sony Pictures Entertainment)"

...and on and on. So I resign.

I understand you are bowing out, but what you just did was really cherry picking.

Presidents of the 3 national US news brands: NBC Deborah Turness, ABC: Ben Sherwood, President CBS: LEslie Moonves Presdient of hte major US Cable news: Fox - Roger Eugene Ailes, CNN news: Jim Walton, MSNBC: Phil Griphin.

One woman, five men.

How bout major Movie Studios? These are from the 6 major studies defined by wiki, with the "key people" also defined by wiki.

• Disney: Alan Horn (chairman), Alan Bergman (president), Sean Bailey (president, motion picture production), Robert A. Chapek (president, distribution)[1]
• MGM: Gary Barber (CEO), Jonathan Glickman, President of Film Division, Ken Schapiro, COO

• 21 century fox (studio, not news) Rupert Murdoch, Chairman, Daniel Tayne, President
• Paramount: Brad Grey (Chairman and CEO), Rob Moore (Vice Chairman), Frederick D. Huntsberry(COO), Adam Goodmad, President of Paramount Film Group

22 men, 2 women.

Are there women in the entertaiment and news industry? yes. Do they make up even a 3rd of the important players? hell no.
