Is Rachel Maddow sincere?

74. no, she's under no obligation to present a full picture, but in that case, how is what she does

different from fox news?

why is it inappropriate for somerby to call her out? she invited him on the show. presumably as a foil, so she could paint him as the big bad man once again interrupting the female.

yes, a statistic "packs more punch" when you don't explain the nuances. it also conveys a misleading and propagandistic aim.

i've already agreed with you that there may be things going on under the surface of that explained 18%. But so far as I can see, most of it has to do with the greater burden women bear in child-rearing.

And since the gap is most obvious the higher you go in the income scale, I don't see that it should all necessarily be read as indicative of discrimination, past or present. It could equally well be read as indicative of the privilege of upper-class women. Unless it's your belief that most women prefer sitting in corporate board rooms to spending time with their kids. Some do, but in my experience most don't, at least when they're young.
