— Equal Pay Day is a reminder of the importance of negotiating a salary – Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz  (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians a) to hire, retain, and promote women and b) to make way for them by wasting the careers of and by getting rid of their employees who were male.  The aforesaid is called Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-equal-pay-day-salary-negotiations-0404-biz-20170403-story.html
— The case for taxing inherited wealth – Barry S. Rabin  (DIERSEN: How much money did/will you inherit?  My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious when my wife inherited money during the 1980s when her parents died.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-federal-estate-tax-rate-perspec-0404-md-20170404-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s for the feds to do something like Pennsylvania has done with its inheritance tax: Tax from Dollar One (after deductions for funeral expenses, medical bills and other legitimate debts), but at very modest rates. You see, Pennsylvania only takes 4.5 percent from an estate whose heirs are the decedent’s children, grandchildren or other “lineal descendants.” It exempts spouses from tax altogether and also provides generous exemptions for legitimate family-owned farms and businesses. (The feds, by contrast, currently have a top rate of a confiscatory 40 percent, although as I said, it’s a joke since almost nobody pays it.) Taking a small cut of each transfer of wealth passing upon death makes a lot more sense — and, in my view, is much fairer — than overtaxing working people or continuing to run up the national credit cards, with the whopping bill eventually going to us.)
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: In a front page top of fold editorial with a big color picture unethically made to look like a news article, anti-Trumps treasonously glorify and praise those who come to America illegally, who stay in America illegally, and who bring others to America illegally.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Trump’s most trusted news source – EDDIE SCARRY  (DIERSEN: What is your most trusted source for government and political news and commentary of interest to Illinois Republicans?  Should I write a book about those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who focus on a) discouraging me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and b) discouraging everyone from reading the emails?)
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trumps-most-trusted-news-source/article/2619218
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After all of President Trump’s attacks and counter-attacks against the news media, one cable show in particular remains pristine in his eyes: the Fox News morning chat show “Fox & Friends.” Trump started the week Monday with what has become his usual praise for the show’s programming. “Such amazing reporting on unmasking and the crooked scheme against us by Fox & Friends,” Trump said on Twitter at 6:15 a.m., after apparently watching the program and referring to a segment it did on the Obama administration’s surveillance of his transition team. “‘Spied on before nomination.’ The real story.”)

 

NEW YORK TIMES

PATEL and ADAM PEARCE  (DIERSEN: Federal employees should assume that everyone who wants to know your income, your assets, and your debts a) will get the aforesaid information and b) will use that information against you.  While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates always used against me information about my income, my assets, and my debts. They stressed the new cars that I bought, the money that I spent on tuition and books, that I graduated from NIU debt-free in 1970, the town home and condos that I bought, my wife’s income and savings, the home that we bought in Wheaton in 1978, the new home that we had built in Wheaton in 1984, the collector cars that I bought, that we have had no debts since the 1990s, the money that we saved for our retirement, etc.)

— Wells Fargo Whistle-Blower Wins $5.4 Million and His Job Back – STACY COWLEY  (DIERSEN: If I had not been denied my 7th Amendment rights in Diersen v. GAO and a jury had found in my favor, I would have wanted my job back only if GAO got rid of a) all my superiors and supervisors who wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old and b) all my coworkers and subordinates who helped my superiors and supervisors waste my career and force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.  That would include virtually everyone who GAO employed in its Chicago Office between 1980 and 1997.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/03/business/04-wells-fargo-whistleblower-fired-osha.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A federal regulator on Monday ordered Wells Fargo to pay $5.4 million to a former manager who said he was fired in 2010 after reporting to his supervisors and to a bank ethics hotline what he suspected was fraudulent behavior. The bank must also rehire him, the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration said. The $5.4 million, intended to cover back pay, compensatory damages and legal fees, is the largest individual award ever ordered through OSHA’s whistle-blower protection program, according to Barbara Goto, the agency’s regional administrator in San Francisco. It is also the first financial penalty against a company that the agency has announced in a news release since President Trump was inaugurated.)
— How to End the Politicization of the Courts – David Leonhardt (DIERSEN: In Diersen v. GAO, the U.S. Attorney, the U.S. District Court Judge, the U.S. Senator who appointed the aforesaid, and the U.S. 7th Circuit Appellate Court all made it very clear that they favored patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid.)

— Bill O’Reilly Thrives at Fox News, Even as Harassment Settlements Add Up  About $13 million has been paid out over the years to address complaints from women about Mr. O’Reilly’s behavior. He denies the claims have merit. – EMILY STEEL and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT  (DIERSEN: What complaints have been filed against you?  While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, no complaints that I discriminated against anyone because of their political affiliation, veteran status, “race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information,” or anything else were ever filed against me.  Nevertheless, the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980, and the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 treated me like many such complaints had been filed against me.  They would not have treated me that way if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, and/or a veteran.)

— GOP Paid White House’s Priebus Almost $500,000, Filing Shows – Jennifer Epstein and Toluse Olorunnipa  (DIERSEN: Who calls your tunes?  He who pays the piper calls the tunes. Neither the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, the Illinois Republican Party, the Republican National Committee, nor any other individual, organization, company, government, or country has paid me anything for what I do for you as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-04-01/gop-paid-white-house-s-priebus-almost-500-000-filing-show
(FROM THE ARTICLE: White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus received almost $500,000 from the Republican National Committee in 2016 as he led the party to wins at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, according to a financial disclosure form released Friday. Priebus served as chairman of the RNC from 2011 until joining the Trump administration in January. He was paid a base salary of $225,000 in 2016 plus two bonuses totaling $175,000. The party also spent just over $57,000 on rent for a Washington-area home. At the beginning of 2017, the committee paid him an additional $33,000. Appointed by President Donald Trump shortly after the election last year, Priebus has attempted to draw on his long-standing relationships with Republicans in Congress to help shape and shepherd Trump’s agenda. A fixture in Wisconsin politics for most of his adult life, Priebus worked as a litigator at Milwaukee law firm Michael Best & Friedrich LLP, where he became partner in 2006. He went on leave from the firm when he became party chairman and more formally severed ties at the end of 2016, when he received a $450,000 equity buyout. He also was paid a $50,000 bonus by the firm and had $96,408 from his capital account returned to him. Priebus also reported assets totaling at least $350,000 in an American Funds mutual fund and two bank accounts.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: What does Mayor Rahm Emanuel think of you?  Anti-Trump Emanuel says “Speak out against the hatred and ugliness whirling around us.”  Ever-increasingly, Emanuel promotes hatred against individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America longer than his ancestors. To encourage Emanuel to hate me, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes would stress that I am 100% German national origin, that my ancestors have been in America since the 1840s, that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, that I am conservative, that I am Republican, that I am American, that I am White, that I am a male, that I am old (68), that I am not poor, that I am a gun owner, that I am a draft avoider, that I oppose illegal/mass immigration, that oppose promotion of dependency on government and on charity, that I oppose promotion of LGBTQ activity, that I oppose promotion of abortion, that I oppose race and gender based preference giving, that I oppose age discrimination, that I oppose patronage, that I oppose political affiliation discrimination, that oppose promotion of booze, pot, gambling, and other vices, and that I oppose diminution of First and Second Amendment rights.  They would stress those Jewish people who have a very low opinion of me including former Money Magazine employees and my former superiors and supervisors in the federal government; if I had been Jewish, Money Magazine and IRS would not have disallowed my education deductions. They would stress that the mayor of Wheaton publicly insults me and that no one comes to my defense.

http://www.wsiltv.com/story/35022892/no-lgbtq-category-included-in-census-proposal-for-2020-count
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. Census Bureau did not include a separate count of LGBTQ Americans in its proposal for the 2020 Census. The category had been sought by gay rights advocates. The bureau counts Americans according to race, gender and other characteristics. Its proposal submitted to Congress this week did not have a separate category for LGBTQ. The Census Bureau said it had no immediate comment. But gay rights advocates say it’s more evidence that Trump is going back on a campaign promise to protect the gay community. Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services removed questions on sexuality from two of its surveys. The Trump administration also has canceled an Obama administration directive that students should use the bathroom that matches their gender identity.)

CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— A taste of their own medicine – Tom Kacich  (DIERSEN: A major reason why people hate federal employees and hate retired federal employees is that federal employees and retired federal employees like me are eligible to participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits program.  People want the federal government to screw its employees and screw its retirees just like private sector employers screw their employee and screw their retirees.)
http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2017-03-29/tom-kacich-taste-their-own-medicine.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the end of his 65-minute tele-town hall Monday night, U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis was asked whether members of Congress should get their health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act. We do, he said. And he pays more for it than he did under a previous program, with a higher deductible and a higher out-of-pocket maximum cost. “I’m part of the only group that has to, by law, has to get their benefits through the Affordable Care Act for health care,” Davis said. “I actually follow more stringent requirements than the Obama White House did. The Obama White House didn’t have to get their health benefits through the Affordable Care Act exchange like members of Congress and members of the Senate do. They were able to join millions of federal employees through the federal employee health benefit program.” Davis didn’t say it, but the reason for the disparity is that’s the way Congress wrote the law. “For a long period of time,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, “it seemed to me that members of Congress needed to be subject to the laws they pass for the rest of the country.” Davis didn’t sound pleased about his enrollment under the ACA. “We don’t get any special benefits. We do have to follow the health care benefits of the Affordable Care Act where every other federal employee does not,” he said. Members of Congress are enrolled under the ACA’s gold tier plan offered by the DC Health Link. According to the Congressional Research Service, the average employer contribution — which comes from taxpayers — is 72 percent. Davis has family coverage under the ACA, and it’s more expensive, with a higher deductible, than what they had before the ACA under the Federal Employees Health Benefits program. The breakdown, as provided by Davis spokeswoman Ashley Phelps:)

They rejected the fact that much of what I did for IRS was similar to what GAO employees do – interview, gather facts, summarize facts, analyze facts, make recommendations, write reports, etc.  They demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact that before I transferred, I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, that I had earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and that I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970.)

The Danish study determined that parental factors most likely to create either violent or suicidal tendencies in adulthood are 1) parents who used marijuana; 2) having parents who are sociopaths or 3) having parents who attempt suicide.   In other words, marijuana abuse is far more serious in predicting adverse behavioral outcomes than other parental mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder and alcoholism.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170328/discuss/170328942/
— District 200 officials again ask voters to approve Jefferson plan – Katlyn Smith  (JAN SHAW: The article is definitely pro-referendum.  While what is says may be technically true, it is incomplete. Like much of the “yes” literature it is misleading on the cost.  It says “The owner of a $322,300 home — the average in the district — would pay $180 to $295 annually in additional taxes for the first nine years of the loans.” They leave out, that the same home is projected to pay $531/year for the last 10 years.  See:  Download estimated impact as PDF (http://www.cusd200.org/cms/lib7/IL01001538/Centricity/Domain/2137/Referendum%20Homeowner%20Impact.pdf) They claim that bringing all its early learning services under one roof will be a big enough improvement to warrant the cost of the new building.  Yet, in 2013, Jan Shaw put in a FOIA to try to find out how much money the district was spending on pre-k support staff that traveled (i.e. physical therapists) and was told he couldn’t run the numbers because many work with elementary students as well. The truth is Jefferson could use some work.  But, like many of our homes we need to prioritize and sometimes things must wait until we’ve paid off the debt that we’ve already run up.  With what the district spent on Hubble, had they built a Hubble more in line with the other 3 middle schools, they could have built a new Jefferson at the same time for the same money.)

CNN
— 1 in 4 workers have less than $1,000 saved for retirement – Katie Lobosco  (DIERSEN: How much have you saved for your retirement? In today’s dollars, at the end of 1977, when I was 29 years old, IRS was paying me $87,520 (GS-12 Step 4) and I had contributed $26,881 into the Civil Service Retirement System.)
http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/21/retirement/retirement-confidence-ebri/index.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Almost one-quarter of workers said they and their spouse combined have less than $1,000 saved for retirement, according to a report from the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Nearly half of everyone surveyed said they had less than $25,000. Sure, $25,000 can sound like a lot. But it’s a reasonable goal to have that much stashed away by the time you’re 30 years old. Someone in their early 30s earning $50,000 a year should have about $30,000 saved, according to one calculator. This it totally doable if that person has been saving 10% of their income annually, which is the rule-of-thumb suggested by many financial planners. But more than one-third of those surveyed said they’re saving less than that. When it’s time to retire, most people believe they’ll need at least $500,000. (Though, 41% couldn’t even guess how much their nest egg should be.) There’s one big difference between those who are on track and those who aren’t. Most of those workers who said they’ve saved less than $1,000 don’t have access to a savings account like a 401(k) at work. There are roughly 55 million workers in the U.S. who don’t have access to an employer-sponsored plan. To try to help those Americans, President Obama launched a program called the myRA. It’s a starter retirement account that’s similar to a Roth IRA and sponsored by the federal government. But you can only save up to $15,000 in the myRA, and you can’t invest that money in a diversified portfolio — only in a set of conservative investments.)

They can cite the fact that the Mayor of Wheaton publicly insults me.)

My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims. Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer that I had accepted saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint in 1971. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests.)

USA TODAY
— Steve Bannon’s rise forces Breitbart News out of the shadows, and the basement – Paul Singer  (DIERSEN: GOPUSA ILLINOIS has never been in the shadows or in a basement. GOPUSA ILLINOIS has always been in the first floor family room at 915 Cove Court in Wheaton.  GOPUSA ILLINOIS has always officially declared who owns it (me) and who operates it (me).  Unlike Breitbart, GOPUSA ILLINOIS has had no lavish parties.  Unlike Breitbart, GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails and its website www.gopillinois.com have no advertising.  He who pays the piper calls the tunes.)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/03/23/bannons-rise-forces-breitbart-news-out-shadows-and-basement-trump/99456912/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bare-knuckled conservative news organization has moved its office out of the house where former chief Steve Bannon lived, has begun to reluctantly disclose its ownership, and, in its quest for official recognition, may even go so far as to publicly declare who runs the place. Breitbart has for the past several years operated, basically, out of Bannon’s house. Bannon was the executive chairman of Breitbart News and the ideological engine behind the site’s bareknuckled anti-immigration, anti-government ideology. He and the site both operated out of a townhouse on Capitol Hill a couple of blocks behind the Supreme Court. It became known as the “Breitbart Embassy,” site of lavish parties upstairs and the typing of a staff of young reporters downstairs, whom Bannon  referred to as “the Valkyries.”)

— Retirement dreams fizzle amid insurance uncertainty – AP  (DIERSEN: Have your retirement dreams fizzled?  According to OPM, “The basic Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) annuity cannot exceed 80 percent of your high-3 average salary, excluding your unused sick leave. Generally, you reach the 80 percent limitation when you have 41 years and 11 months of service, not including accumulated sick leave.”  If my GAO superiors had not succeeded in forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, I would have had 42 years of service in 2010 when I was 62 years old.  In today’s dollars, my CSRS pension would be $98,393/year instead of the $50,856/year that it is now, or $47,537/year (48%) more.)

— Differences apparent in pot legalization debate – Greg Bishop  (DIERSEN: Which individuals, organizations, companies, and governments in Illinois are leading the opposition against SB 316 and HB 2353?  Please ask them to phone me at 630-653-0462.  I am considering asking the DuPage County Board to pass a resolution ASAP against the legalization of marijuana for recreational use similar to the Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s 2009 resolution against video gambling.  For a sample of such a resolution, SEE: http://archive.azcentral.com/ic/pdf/resolution-opposing-legalization-marijuana.pdf  I would ask all of the Republicans who represent all or part of DuPage County to endorse the resolution including U.S. Representatives Hultgren and Roskam; Governor Rauner; Lt. Governor Sanguinetti; Illinois Senators Connelly, Nybo, Oberweis, and Radogno; Illinois Representatives Bellock, Breen, Durkin, Fortner, Ives, Olsen, Wehrli, and Winger; DuPage County officials Anderson, Berlin, Bucholz, Cantore, Cronin, Curran, DiCianni, Eckhoff, Elliott, Fichtner, Grant, Grasso, Grogan, Healy, Henry, Hinds, Jorgensen, Kachiroubas, Khouri, Krajewski, Larsen, Murphy, Noonan, Puchalski, Redick, Ruscitti, Tornatore, Whelan, Wiley, Zaruba, and Zay; Milton Township officials Falbo, Heidorn, Hinkle, Keller, LeVan, Molitor, Muehlfelt, and Nathwani; and all the MTRCC members.)
http://rockrivertimes.com/2017/03/23/differences-apparent-in-pot-legalization-debate/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Anita Bedell, executive director of Illinois Church Action on Alcohol & Addiction Problems, said, “Just because something brings in revenue doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. They’re not considering the harm, they’re not considering costs.” Proponents also say it will spur on jobs. “So has gambling, so has other things …,” Bedell said. “There’s always going to be money in some things, but this is not a good way to have money for Illinois, and it would just cause more harm and cause more damage.” . . . Illinois Family Institute’s David Smith opposes legalization and said there would still be a black market. “The guy on the street that’s selling the pot doesn’t have to have the brick and mortar and the overhead and the employees and the insurance, and the workman’s comp,” Smith said. Smith also dismissed proponents who say illegal marijuana is a criminal justice issue because, he said, there are a very small number of inmates in the system for drug possession only. The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police said they oppose the bill because of the traffic safety concerns.) . . . Rauner’s office said Thursday the governor is currently reviewing the legalization measure.)

— Illinois Lottery Launches Instant Ticket To Help Find Multiple Sclerosis Cure – Mike Krauser
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/03/16/illinois-lottery-launches-instant-ticket-to-help-find-multiple-sclerosis-cure/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Illinois Lottery has announced the latest version of a scratch-off game to benefit researchers seeking a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. “Go out and buy a ticket and let’s cure MS,” said the state’s Public Health Director, Dr. Nirav Shah at the kickoff event for the “MS Project” instant game at UIC. WBBM’s Mike Krauser reports. “In recent years, there are promising new hopes on the horizon,Dr. Shah said. “The tide is very clearly turning with respect to MS therapies and that makes the research that this ticket supports all the more important right now.” Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti, who has lived with MS for 10 years, said she was diagnosed after a fall on ice and calls herself an MS warrior. “My husband told me that I better get busy living or get busy dying,” Sanguinetti said. “I chose to live and I chose to fight.” She urged people to support the cause and said she firmly believes there will be a cure in her lifetime. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disabling neurological disease that disrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body. More than 20,000 people are living with MS in Illinois, according to the Illinois Lottery MS Project website. People with MS fight symptoms like fatigue, walking difficulties, blurred vision, dizziness and vertigo, numbness, weakness and many more. Women are two to three times more likely to be diagnosed with MS than men are. Illinois Lottery Director Greg Smith said 100 percent of the proceeds from the instant scratch ticket funds research. The Illinois Lottery has raised more than $8 million for MS research so far with the instant ticket. Doctor Douglas Feinstein has been working on MS research at the University of Illinois at Chicago for 20 years. “It’s getting more and more difficult to obtain research funding and this is another opportunity,” Dr. Feinstein said. (chart) He too said there are promising therapies that are being worked on at UIC and elsewhere. The ticket can be purchased for $3 where Illinois Lottery instant scratch-off tickets are sold. Ticket buyers could win up to $50,000. The Illinois Lottery also helps other causes with instant tickets, such as breast cancer with the ‘Ticket for the Cure,’ Special Olympics with the ‘Special Olympics Ticket,’ and HIV/AIDS prevention with the ‘Red Ribbon Cash’ ticket.)

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— Bruce Rauner’s Approval Numbers Are In Freefall  His latest numbers are brutal, even compared to last year. Any silver lining for him? Madigan’s even more unpopular. – WHET MOSER  (DIERSEN: What are your approval numbers in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?  From what I see, those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois can have a tremendous impact on your approval numbers.  Most people, if not virtually all people, base their opinions of people on what those who have the most clout say about them and treat them, especially what the say about them and how they treat them in public. For example, if the mayor of a municipality treats someone rudely during his state of the city address, many people, if not virtually all people in that municipality will then treat that person rudely. For example, if a township trustee treats someone rudely during his speech at a political meeting, many members, if not virtually all the members of that political organization will then treat that member rudely. For example, if a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee treats someone rudely during that organization’s annual conventions, many members, if not virtually all the members of that organization will then treat that member rudely.  Who treats you rudely?  I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have treated me rudely since 2000. They would love it. They know that my policy has been to forgive those who trespass against me.  They have taken advantage of that policy and they are gambling that I will not abandon that policy.)

They belittle and badmouth the experience that I gained working as an analyst for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991.  Much of GAO analysts do is very similar to what journalists do.)
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/columns/business-of-news-fake-news-is-a-golden-opportunity-for-journalists/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fake news is the best thing that has ever happened to real journalism. I mean the kind of journalism that requires serious work. If you’ve ever spoken to a high school class or a civic group, then you know that the average citizen knows as much about gathering and reporting news as they know about brain surgery. The public does not understand how reporters and editors sift through potential stories, make decisions about what to cover (with disinterest for the partisan viewpoints), and then begin the process of accumulating information, discarding some of it, challenging “proof” that sources offer, and finally choosing the words that will tell the story. The public knows nothing of the editing process—how a good editor can approach a news article submitted by a reporter with skepticism. How—finally—a copy editor reads the article one more time and summarizes the 800 words into six-to-10 words that fit in the headline space.)

— REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS SAY THEY’RE SKIPPING TOWN HALLS FOR ‘SAFETY REASONS’ – Stacey Baca
http://abc7chicago.com/politics/gop-lawmakers-say-theyre-skipping-town-halls-for-safety-reasons/1783734/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some Republican congressmen are facing angry voters in their districts, concerned with the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and other issues with the new president’s agenda. They say security concerns are why they’re canceling town halls. Congressman Randy Hultgren announced Friday afternoon that one of his staff members quit this week because she was worried about her safety at the office. The police chief in Campton Hills confirmed they have handled a few minor calls. There has been no violence at any of the town hall meetings held across the country, but the congressman says safety is the reason he won’t hold town hall meetings. Republicans have faced protests at home, including Hultgren. He has decided for now to meet with constituents only in small groups, not town halls. “They get frustrated having individual time with me, or a small group meeting with me. They want to have something that is more theatrical. I just don’t know if that is beneficial right now,” he said. Hultgren represents part of McHenry, Kane and Kendall counties. “We just want to make sure that everybody is safe, that we have this respect in the process that we can listen from each other, learn from each other, disagree at times but with a level of respect,” he said. Although Hultgren used former congresswoman Gabby Giffords’ shooting as an example, Giffords recently released her own response, saying politicians must face their constituents and hold town hall meetings. Congressman Peter Roskam, who represents the far northwest and western suburbs, has also had protests in his districts. Instead of town halls, he’s using phone meetings. “Rather than having a meeting with 200 people that are essentially shouting at one another, I thought it was more helpful to meet with 18,000 people on the phone to have a wider range of opinion and much more feedback,” he said. The protests, for some, harken back to the early days of the Tea Party. Senator Dick Durbin, who met with Tea Partiers at the time, sold an old boxing quote to put it in perspective. “They used to say something about Joe Lewis, the great heavyweight champion, they used to say something about his opponents: they can run but they can’t hide. The same is true about members of Congress. You can avoid your constituents for some period of time, but ultimately they get the last word in the election,” Durbin said. Voters have criticized Republican lawmakers for shirking their duty to their constituents and continue to push for town hall meetings. Experts said things will only get worse for lawmakers because soon they will start voting on laws, and voters will follow how their representatives are voting.)

In brief remarks to reporters as he walked to the elevators with a small entourage, the rapper said he was disappointed by “vague answers” from the governor about funding for CPS, but had exchanged phone numbers with Rauner.)

— Age bias in the Age of the Millennial – Editorial  (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes PROMOTE AGE DISCRIMINATION BIG TIME.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-age-bias-edit-plummer-terkel-scully-0304-jm-20170303-story.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Yes, this is often said to be the Age of the Millennial. And virtually every discussion of generations quickly references baby boomers. But assigning stereotypes to different age groups isn’t just annoying. It’s often misleading. Case in point: America’s concept of retirement has changed. Many people are working well into their 70s and 80s. Insert here your own story about the 83-year-old co-worker who never got sick and was always the first to arrive each day. And workers with that depth of life and work experience bring to the table a wealth of institutional and subject knowledge about their fields. That’s a wellspring that millennials can tap into, and employers should covet. Too often, they don’t. Ageism — that is, discrimination based on someone’s age — is rampant in today’s workplace. According to a study by AARP in 2013, 3 of every 5 older workers reported having seen or experienced age discrimination at work. Age discrimination complaints brought to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have jumped 26 percent over the last decade, from 16,548 in 2006 to 20,857 last year. Madigan is right to take up this issue, and we hope the job search firms that have been warned make the right fixes. A spokeswoman for CareerBuilder told the Tribune’s Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz that the company “is committed to helping workers of all ages find job opportunities, and is fixing this unfortunate oversight.” That’s good to hear. After all, what difference does it make if someone’s 23, 43, 63 or 83 — as long as he or she can get the job done well. Mark Twain put it best: “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”)

— Here’s What Wrong With The Claim That Female Reporters Make 26% Less Than Male Counterparts – Andrew Follett  (DIERSEN: What percent of those organizations and companies that employ reporters are Democrat – 97%, 98%, 99+%)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/02/28/heres-what-wrong-with-the-claim-that-female-reporters-make-26-less-than-male-counterparts/
(FROM THEARTICLE: The study’s claim ignores much of its own data.  Its data clearly suggests the salary gap is because female journalists are, on average, six years younger than their male colleagues, and have 5.3 less years of work experience. They are also less likely to work full time and hold management positions. . .The study did find the average after-tax income of a male journalist in the country is $55,552, while the average female journalist earns $44,104. This statistic on its own can be misleading without the context of the work experience gap.)
