- π― The 'Outnumbered' panel criticized Vogue's recent profile of California Governor Gavin Newsom, describing it as "gushing" and "inappropriate."
- π‘ The article's opening lines, calling Newsom "embarrassingly handsome" with "ardent, energetic" qualities and a "glimmer of optimism," were highlighted as particularly problematic.
- π Panelists felt the profile focused excessively on Newsom's appearance and personal attributes rather than his qualifications, track record, or policy substance.
Criticism of Media Coverage
- β οΈ The panel questioned the appropriateness of such a profile for a politician potentially seeking the presidency, comparing it to "smutty erotica."
- π£οΈ They argued that if the subject were a woman, the profile would have caused significant uproar for its perceived inappropriateness.
- π« The discussion pointed out that the profile failed to address critical issues in California, such as the insurance crisis, homelessness, and the state budget.
Political Implications and Future Elections

- π They drew parallels to the coverage of Kamala Harris, suggesting a similar pattern of attempting to build a favorable narrative.
- π€¨ Questions were raised about Newsom's current polling numbers, implying that such a profile might be an attempt to compensate for perceived weaknesses or lack of traction.
Authenticity and Public Perception

- π§ The description of Newsom's body language and demeanor was deemed overly subjective and lacking in journalistic objectivity.
- π€’ The overall sentiment was that the profile was uncomfortable, overly sexualized, and detached from the realities of Newsom's governance.
