Maureen Dowd


Maureen Dowd has gone a long way from being a journalist who dished out articles only to face the prospect of being 'cut off' due to limited space in Time at a time where female reporters were not highly regarded.

I personally love this opinion piece titled 'Dinosaur at the Gate" written by her. You may say that the tone is rather subjective by journalism standards, but what's the use of an opinion article when everything sounds so neutral like a hard-news piece?
