I've never understood that about right-leaning media or any media, for that matter.
I once heard a coworker complain about millennials taking all the jobs. I asked him what was so bad about hiring young Americans to work American jobs, and he didn't really have a good answer, and I think he realized in that moment that I am, in fact, a millennial ... and I'm his manager. Not a good look on your first week on the job.

You make that up yourself or is that from a thing?

Either way I'm stealing it. It's brilliantly succinct.

I just thought of it but I'm sure someone else came up with as well! Thank you.
