The media was all over President Obama’s remarks about Eric Shinseki — who resigned as head of the VA — on Friday, but there was one glaring problem that had nothing to do with veterans affairs.

The media industry has, of course, always suffered from a major gender gap. Nakamura also posted this Vine of the reporters:
