so because she hasn't worked there, that justifies her previous salary?
No, but you claimed, "where are the media reporting on this?"

They reported on it back in 2014 when a reporter from Politico wrote about the job and several other MSM sources carried their report. Why should they be reporting about it 3 years later?

MSM media still posting fake news....even to this day.

Media errors give Trump fresh ammunition

" the high-profile nature of the errors hurts the media's credibility at a time when the press is under more scrutiny than ever before, giving new political ammunition to critics of the mainstream press."-thehill

I was able to watch the video on my bigger computer and it is funny how he actually describes right wing media as well as far left media. He does make claims which are extremely incorrect on how MSM depicts events but what he reveals is how the Psychiatrists are correct in describing right wing personalities, and in a link I gave earlier.

For instance, he claims MSM depict a white cop shooting a black suspect a general police racism when that rarely occurs. In fact, each event are treated on individual cases. It may be reported as racism but not necessarily. His claim that police don't use deadly force more often on blacks is also incorrect according The Center for Disease Control. Over a 10 year period about 2100 whites were killed by law enforcement while about 1100 blacks were killed for the same period. When population percentages are factored in, 63% compared to 13%, blacks are killed at a much higher percentage per 100,000.

His claim about Islamophobia is also incorrect. In short, Klavan does no more than reveal his own short comings.
Tell me, is a differential arrest rate between males and females on the crime of rape indicative of widespread sexism against men in the police departments?
His claims on Islamaphobia are not incorrect just because you say they are.
The bias is so thick on the way those stories are covered that it actually bites anyone who is not too numb by the coverage to notice any more.
But more to the point to the issue you disputed and asked for a source, his ten to one numbers do not just compare Fox to MSNBC, but notes the leadership and viewership of CNN, CBS, NBC, etc, etc, and the huge preponderance of journalists who are from the left.
That is the bias built in to the system.

How does that relate to anything? Are the police doing the raping?
His claims on Islamaphobia are not incorrect just because you say they are.
No, but they are just not correct because no one says what he claimed. Did you actually listen to how he phrased his claim?

Anyone who isn't numb and is neither conservative or liberal, as I, listens and examines as a sceptic, as I am. I also have an Uncle who is a retired chief detective, a brother-in-law who is a detective, a neighbor who is a retired detective and several friends who are police officers and support blue lives matters.

This doesn't blind me to the problems which arise within the department.

The more intelligent question is who is doing the crime, and in what proportion?
Men or women? That would help decide if the response of the police is actually proportionate.
You are comparing white and black and expecting the police results to be similar according to population ratio.

So are the police sexist too?

No, but they are just not correct because no one says what he claimed. Did you actually listen to how he phrased his claim?
Yes.

If you say so.
This follows the kind of argument of 'hey, some of my best friends are black', though.
Knowing someone in the police department is not a good testimony of your own level headed-ness when it comes to media bias, which is what the link was all about.
Recall that the main reason for the link was to demonstrate the source of the claim that leftist media viewership is 10 to 1 right wing viewership. Fox is the niche market only, whereas all the major news networks are on the left.
Comparing Fox to MSNBC only is making the same mistake of comparing the Titanic to the iceberg.
There is just so much more than meets the eye.
And from the leadership on the top, to the journalists on the ground, it is a uniculture of leftists.
Confirmation bias cannot help but be at work here.

Huh, no. Your man began this by comparing police shootings and you then went way off that issue and tried to tie rape into the issue.
You are comparing white and black and expecting the police results to be similar according to population ratio.
Don't you even read the posts? I didn't compare anything. I just showed that Klavan's facts were incorrect which made his position on MSM wrong. It is impossible to understand why the ratio of police shooting blacks is higher simply by looking at stats. Each case needs to be look at individually.
So are the police sexist too?
Some are. I can certainly say that my Uncle was but then most cops that I know are not anymore sexist than the average man or woman.

Then you should know that he phrased it in a manner which makes it easy to disprove, "IF" the person listens without bias. He may have done that to try and prove his point.

If you say so.

I agreed with his point about media bias. He described the right wing media perfectly and he also hit some of the moderate and liberal media sources as well.

I normally don't watch national or cable news but I started watching CNN recently to see if they are biased and I certainly believe that they are. Everything is so political there and I hate politics. The News section of Fox News is fairly good but the political shows are more biased than CNN.

I get my news from the local stations. Usually the local Fox station.
Recall that the main reason for the link was to demonstrate the source of the claim that leftist media viewership is 10 to 1 right wing viewership. Fox is the niche market only, whereas all the major news networks are on the left.
You gave that to another person but invited me to watch it because of Klavan's analysis.
Comparing Fox to MSNBC only is making the same mistake of comparing the Titanic to the iceberg.
No. They are mirror images of each other.
There is just so much more than meets the eye.
And from the leadership on the top, to the journalists on the ground, it is a uniculture of leftists.
Confirmation bias cannot help but be at work here.
And, where are the former bosses of the Fox News Channel and who do they support? Proof that Fox is a uniculture of far right wingers.

I wonder if he understands that MSM(Main Stream Media) includes many of his Conservative sites?
nope, sorry. can't redefine terms to suit your case. If your thinking Fox news. I don't view fox news as a conservative site anymore. Since new leadership, it is probably the most moderate news out there. Although a few of their hosts are conservative.

I'm not redefining anything. I'm defining MSM as it has always been used. Though some right wing sources may have begun as alternative media, they became MSM as they grew.

If I shot down several of your arguments already you simply cannot steer the thread off topic indefinitely. enough is enough, get back on topic.
He cannot steer the thread off topic if he is responding to your accusation about Kerry. That would mean that you went off topic with your post.
