Is Kaitlan Collins the one who Kayleigh told she doesn't answer questions from activists?
I can't figure that one out. Both sides gotcha journalism?

Quakers are one of my favorite retorts to the whole "man of their time" argument that you can't judge founders and/or our ancestors for their slave-owning ways because "it's just what they did back then."
As long as there has been slavery, there have been vocal abolitionists. Fucking learn to deal with that truth.

Idk, I just watched this video of the Biden/Kaitlan exchange
I do think POTUS was a little terse and I think it's lovely that he apologized. I find many of her questions and follow ups fairly ridiculous but this one didn't bother me as much. Idk. He's right that she knows why Putin acted all innocent during his presser but she's right that it's her job (yeah she knows, but she can't report on what she thinks, she can only report on what is said and done).
I think CNN is in a tough spot covering a Democrat while constantly accused of bias. They definitely play into the both-sides garbage too much. And Kaitlan will always be Daily Caller Kaitlan so I will always find her and her promotion suspect. But I'm glad the press ask tough questions, even of government officials with whom I tend to agree.
Maybe I'm just in a good mood bc she makes me so mad but today's flap didn't seem entirely one sided. Just my quick glance two cents.

I mean, make no mistake, Daily Caller is absolute trash and as I said, I forever side eye Kaitlan for working for them, and CNN for hiring her. I just think this particular thing got attention because it was televised and not a ridiculous accusation toward Jen Psaki that only we see. Because this wasn't even close to the worst question.

The initial question didn’t bother me so much it was her faux serious outrage later that irritated me. Throw blitzen in as well and y’all know he makes me ragey. It was incredibly gracious for him to apologize and then continue to answer more questions for a good 20 minutes on the tarmac. They could have left at that and let Fox News Fox News

I tend to agree that he was testy and the question was not out of line. I can’t imagine how zonked he must have been at the end of that summit. Because unlike the former guy he actually worked to prep and, you know, do his job in real time. But it’s nice that he apologized.
Takes like this are a bridge too far though. I mean...come on. I’ve shown more emotion at work and I’m not in charge of nearly as important stuff.

I wonder if it's something our unions will have to negotiate? I wondered that too but that also seems overly burdensome since that means a lot of different unions. It would seem to make more sense for ER and the Board to do it separately. But who knows. Our county is obviously much more mixed politically than Hennepin is. I might ask my coworker who is on our office's diversity and inclusion group if she has any thoughts on how it would get brought up. Good idea. I will ask my coworker who is on the DEI team.

Because I can rattle off a few reporters who were on the receiving end of much less grace from the predecessor.

Idk. I think she’s lost the plot.

#1 why does it feel like the New York mayoral race has been going on for four years?
#2 can Yang please be canceled. This is like his 100th horrid statement in this race
Replacing with a longer clip and it’s just as awful

I just think this particular thing got attention because it was televised and not a ridiculous accusation toward Jen Psaki that only we see. Because this wasn't even close to the worst question. My issue with Kaitlan is the constant trying to get a “Gotcha” sound bite. Asking Biden why he’s confident to try to get it to come back and bite him, and she looks brilliant. He had every right to tell her that he never said that he was confident, and then he backed up why. He may have been testy (and frankly, I don’t really care if he is - he proved at the G7 that he’s got the Nations best interests at heart and clearly other world leaders who aren’t dictators are pleased). But the “gotcha!” journalism is getting super old and I don’t trust KC remotely. They still want a story that they can pull out in a few weeks when Putin is being Putin and say “see! Biden was wrong!” If CNN wants to show that they’re not being biased, they need to stop with this BS. Reporting on a President doing a good job isn’t a bad thing.

I can't read the article because paywall but I totally agree that being a mother and wanting a fulfilling career is still a difficult balancing act that men don't understand. lemondrop you bring up an excellent point re: fertility coverage. Unless you work for a progressive thinking employer, it is so cost prohibitive. When I was looking at my coverage as I started TTC for the twins, I was shocked to see that my insurance covers 100% of fertility treatments, including IVF, no deductible required. The coverage is through my H and his county government insurance is even better than mine. It's such a shame that it isn't universal. Speaking of my H's employer, I just found out today that he has Friday off in observance of Juneteenth. It made me annoyed that my county employer has not yet adopted it as a holiday, ha. Maybe next year? Since by then the federal holiday will be official (assuming the House doesn't fuck it up) and usually states follow federal holidays right? I assume if my state makes it a holiday for state employees, my county would follow suit. A bunch of school districts in my area have tomorrow off for Juneteenth as well. Not mine, so.

It's also not right that the U.S. is the only wealthy nation in the world that doesn't offer parental leave. When I was pregnant in 2019, a supervisor told me flat out they don't offer paid leave or even an option to purchase STD because they don't have to. Zero out your PTO balances and good luck. I see we have the same maternity leave policy. NYS schools pull the same shit and it sucks.
