this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?

SCOOP: One of D.C.'s leading news stations, WUSA9, quietly took down two stories about the health impact of gas stoves to allow one of their advertisers, Washington Gas, to comment.

One of the stories remained down for 6 days. The other is still down.
