The blatant sex role stereotyping of White House assignments continues unabated. Add Savannah Guthrie to the list of correspondents on the distaff side--ABC's Yunji de Nies, CBS' Sheila MacVicar, NBC's Dawna Friesen, twice--whose chore has been to follow Michelle Obama around this week. NBC's Guthrie was in Strasbourg for the NATO Summit yet while her male colleagues covered Afghanistan, her task was the "much anticipated first encounter between the world's most famous First Ladies." Mrs Sarkozy meet Mrs Obama. "For all their differences these First Ladies have one thing in common--a public here in France and in America that is endlessly fascinated with them, not to mention the international press." At least the female members of that corps.
