Recently CNN posted an article saying that hormones effect who women vote for. The article was then removed because it didn’t meet to the CNN “editorial standards” for articles.

In the article that was taken down said that “the study reportedly found that women who are ovulating tend to vote liberal because they ‘feel sexier.'”

I believe this is newsworthy because it doesn’t happen often when CNN takes down an article and it is controversial. The article says that women vote based off their hormones but most women would probably would be offended by the article. Most women I know already know who they are voting for and aren’t voting liberal to “feel sexier,” they are voting to help change the United States.

  • Yes, women would be offended, and that’s likely why it was removed. I’m curious, though, how it landed on the site without going through editorial review.
