The editor's first response was ‘if conservatives were qualified, they would be hired’. (The paper he wrote for - one that everyone here would recognize - did NOT have one conservative on staff...) When I pointed out his same excuse had been used to keep women and blacks out of newsrooms he backed off on the comment.
Maybe we need to guilt-trip the MSM - or explain ‘diversity of thought’ or something..
That would be nice, but they really don’t care. They’re the ones that put forth the meme that Republicans/Conservatives are stupid. We are ‘stupid’ because we don’t agree with their ideology. He believes that Conservatives aren’t ‘qualified’ because of our ideology. I won’t hold my breath waiting for them to change.
