CNN Just Can't Help Themselves, Misleading and False Stories

The CNN Headline reads "White House Pays Women 80 Cents for Every Dollar Paid to Men"

Nice headline.  That dang Trump and the pay disparity for women at the White House. 

CNN -
 

Women working in the White House earn an average salary of 80 cents for every dollar paid to their male colleagues, a CNN analysis found.

That's a gender pay gap wider than the national average of 82 cents on the dollar, according to the Labor Department.

The average salary among men working in the White House was nearly $104,000, according to an analysis of the White House's annual report to Congress, which was released Friday. For women, it was about $83,000. That's $21,000 less on average.

Wait, lets dig in to the details.

Even in their own article they explain why this might be.

CNN -

The disparity is primarily due to more women filling lower-ranking jobs. Half the men working at the White House make $95,000 or more annually, while half the women $70,100 or less.

The top salary for permanent employees at the White House is $179,700. Among the 22 employees making that, only six are women.

 CNN even knows that the split is not due to people working in the same jobs getting paid less, it is because more women work in lower level jobs.  They even go on to say that the mix of men and women working there is almost evenly split. 

So once again you can plainly see the bias in the reporting.  It isn't real news or even close to an accurate headline.  It is designed to give people a false sense of pay disparity by the Trump White House.
