The News Today

Know what I love (and by 'love' I mean 'hate') about the news media? The way they scrape and claw for sensationalism. When the title of yesterday's "women create pay gap," wasn't striking enough, it's now listed as "blame women for pay gap." 'Cause, you know, 'blame' isn't a loaded word. And frankly that's just plain ridiculous; women aren't to blame for the pay gap. The pay gap is a result of the way women operate and, frankly, I think the way they operate is a step and a half better (in a certain sense) than the way we men do. throwing 'blame' in there takes (what I think is) a rather positive new spin on the pay gap bit and makes it a negative.
I hate how everything in the news is negative.
