GOPUSA
— BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: McCain’s views on immigration depend on the language being used
http://www.gopusa.com/?p=14642
(FROM THE ARTICLE:  Arizona Sen. John McCain’s Spanish- and English-language websites differ on what they say about the Republican’s views on immigration and homeland security. McCain’s English-language campaign website touts his work to boost border security and “reform our broken immigration system,” and the Spanish-language site promotes the 80-year-old senator’s teaming with Democrats to “work on a humane migratory reform that is sensitive to the needs of the immigrant community.” The sites differ in other ways as well, with an endorsement on the Spanish-language site by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and an endorsement by the American Conservative Union on the English-language site. The Spanish-language site was launched by campaign on Tuesday, a week after his Republican primary victory. McCain campaign spokeswoman Lorna Romero said the websites were “never intended to be identical.”)

http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/07/media/donald-trump-press-blacklist-over/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald Trump is ending a practice most journalists think he never should have started: his “blacklisting” of news outlets. Effective on Thursday, the Trump campaign says it will approve requests for press credentials from The Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Politico, and other news organizations that were previously blocked by Trump. A campaign spokeswoman confirmed the change on Wednesday. Trump provided a cheeky statement to CNN about the restoration of credentials: “I figure they can’t treat me any worse!” Leaders of some of the affected newsrooms were glad to hear of the change, but said it shouldn’t have been necessary at all. “Access to a major party’s presidential campaign events shouldn’t be a favor to be granted or withheld,” Politico editor Susan Glasser said. “It is important to remember that this was an absurd policy to begin with and a dangerous precedent for any campaign to have set,” Huffington Post senior politics editor Sam Stein said. Several Trump aides, including campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, had been lobbying behind the scenes for a loosening of the restrictions against the Post and other news organizations. Trump’s running mate Mike Pence said five weeks ago that he was looking into the issue. The so-called “blacklist” took hold last year, when the campaign denied press credential requests from The Huffington Post and the Des Moines Register. The Daily Beast, BuzzFeed and Politico’s credential requests were also rejected by the campaign. At various points Univision has also been blocked. Related: Here are the media outlets banned by Trump seemingly formalized the bans last June when he announced that he had revoked the Post’s credentials. In August he threatened to add The New York Times to the list, but did not follow through. In most cases, reporters from the offending outlets were still able to attend Trump rallies as members of the general public, but without the access and privileges that press credentials provide. Some journalists took it as a badge of honor. But the rejection of individual news outlets was troubling, some press freedom advocates said, because of possible chilling effects and precedents. Recognizing the media controversy, and perhaps relishing it, Trump said in June that if elected president, he would not ban news outlets from the White House press briefing room. Lately, the bans were getting harder to enforce. A new print “pool” covering Trump was established at the end of August, and it included several blacklisted outlets. The three print pool chairs — Time magazine’s Zeke Miller and The New York Times’s Maggie Haberman and Ashley Parker — argued that candidates shouldn’t be able to pick the members of the pool rotation, a source with knowledge of the matter said. Related: On Mexico trip, Trump leaves press stranded Separately, news outlets have also been pressing for greater access to Trump, citing the Clinton campaign’s decision to let some reporters travel on Clinton’s plane. Even with this week’s change, Trump is likely to continue attacking the media. His 15-month-long campaign has doubled as a campaign against the media. He routinely depicts news outlets and individual journalists as opponents.)

MONEY MAGAZINE
— Age Discrimination and Lost Income Are Hurting Older Workers – Reuters
http://time.com/money/4483741/age-discrimination-older-workers-retirement/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination is illegal under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. The law prohibits treating job applicants or employees who are over age 40 less favorably because of age. (The law applies to employers with 20 or more workers.) But most of the complaints filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission focus on age-bias terminations rather than hiring – simply because hiring discrimination is so difficult to prove. Yet two-thirds of older workers believe age discrimination occurs in the workplace, according to a 2013 survey by AARP. Older job seekers need much more time to find a job than older workers – 36 weeks in 2015, compared with 26 weeks for younger workers, SCEPA data shows. The evidence on discrimination A recent study by economists at the University of California at Irvine and Tulane University found strong evidence of age discrimination in hiring, particularly for older women. The researchers sent out 40,000 dummy job applications that included signals on the job-seekers’ ages, and then monitored the response rates. They measured callback rates for various occupations; workers age 49-51 applying for administrative positions had a callback rate 29 percent lower than younger workers, and it was 47 percent lower for workers over age 64. Other studies suggest that the long-term jobless rate for women over age 55 is several percentage points higher than it is for men. But older men are struggling too – especially white males with less education. This shows up in government numbers on job tenure, according to Teresa Ghilarducci, a labor economist and SCEPA’s director. From 2012 to 2014, median job tenure with a current employer for white males age 55 and older with less education (high school or less) decreased to 16.7 years from 17.7 years, while job tenure for all other groups rose. “The people who are losing the most are white, high school-educated men,” she said.)
