Why does it seem all of the legacy media is now playing the part of pratfall comedians? They're finding all these rakes on purpose, right?
RIGHT?!
Half of the eight battleground states in this year's U.S. presidential election use the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, a rate that hasn't changed since 2009 despite a 47% surge in the cost of living since then. https://t.co/EUnnAL688v

Not to mention the obvious, but EVERY state uses the federal minimum wage because it's well FEDERAL and a LAW. Now, the question is, does anyone still pay the minimum wage? That's where you lovely people come in.
No jobs pay that wage.

Name 1 person who makes $7.25 an hour. I’ll wait… forever, since no one does

This writer won't say no one does, but the number is likely much smaller than the Left wants anyone to know.
If anybody accepts a minimum wage job in America, the minimum wage isn’t the problem.

There's the rub. Everyone forgets that most minimum-wage jobs were meant to be entry-level, not permanent careers.
This is an entry level job. You don’t typically make careers out of a minimum wage job. But you wouldn’t know that, would you? A real journalist would.

Bro Chacho!
Maybe Biden could have done something about that

Here is one of the rakes mentioned above. It's bad enough that Harris is acting as if Trump is the incumbent and she's the new kid on the block, but it appears CBS has forgotten who has controlled the country for 12 of the last 16 years, in part or in whole.
So you're admitting the cost of living has gone up 47% because of this administration?

It's funny how all the data points one way, but the 'journalists' refuse to see it.
No one makes minimum wage. Starting at McDonald’s is at least 12-15 dollars. Sheets is 18
10s of thousands of job available making 15 per hour plus.
The fair market sets the rate.

It's almost like they have some form of agenda driving their particular narrative or something, but that can't be because actual JoUrNaLiSmS have informed this writer that they must remain impartial.
Then again, this writer is basically preaching to the choir, as they say. You're reading Twitchy and supporting Townhall, so you have a leg up on the lemmings that get their news from groups like CBS News.

If you like free speech, a free press, and freedom, vote accordingly, and maybe we can soon bring ethics back to journalism.
Don't laugh!
It could happen!
Maybe importing VAST numbers of low-skilled laborers - depressing wages - wasn't a good idea. pic.twitter.com/BqSMzYQAY6
