BIAS:
 More sympathetic towards the female
character.
 Because the editor herself is a female she
can relate more to Monica Lewinsky
perspective rather than viewing it with
neutral perspective.
 Her article is based upon Lewinskys
statement and defensive views.
 The article treats Lewinsky as a courageous
victim neglecting all her mistakes.
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
 Sure my boss took advantage of me but I
will always remain firm on this point, it was a
consensual relationship. said Monica.(Ref:
Vanity Fair)
 In front of the Washington D.C. grand jury,
Lewinsky stated last defensive statement, I
hate Linda Tripp. (Ref: Wikipedia)
 Monica said, I didnt have the maturity to
realize exactly how serious this was. (The
Times Magazine, 1999)
Bill Clinton Hillary
Clinton
SUMMARY
 Robbins is treating Lewinsky as a rape victim
though it was a consensual relationship.
 Both Clinton and Lewinsky didnt want the news of
the affair to flash out in the media.
 Since Clinton was a former president, he did not
suffer as much as female counterpart.
 So the article is more sympathetic towards
Lewinsky ignoring all her mistakes and immature
acts.
ANY QUESTION ??????
