    "Some" men maybe.....but at this point jlaw is pretty much as big as any of them. And for mivies they star in like the hunger games thats brought in how much money? Ur box office argument falls flat there

    I think you are just being bickersome.

    How far down the list do you need to go to find a movie that stars a woman in the lead role?

    What's the ratio of men to women?

    How am i being bickersome? Shouldnt jlaw be as highly paid as almost anyone in hollywood? I see her point that theres men who havent made a decent grossing film in years making more than her. Like why is the rock still making movies? He sucks. He's awful. Why are people still paying him to do movies?

  • A female actor that awful would have been relegated to daytime soaps years ago

    That's as much of an indictment of casting as a reflection of popularity.

    Pretend whatever you like some. Movies centered on men are more popular than movies centered around women. And cleave, just because there are a couple women who have starred in some big budget films does not prove your point. Nor does the fact that some actors who aren't very good make a pile of cash. As a matter of fact that's counter to your proposal.

    Yep. It's like asking 'why are all republicans uneducated incest-borne rednecks?' when really that's a very small percentage. Probably.

    It's not much like asking that at all since to be truthful Republicans are smarter than Democrats. That aside equal pay for equal work is not the only platform of American feminism as you well know. (or should )

    I prefer equal pay for equal value. Don't you?

    If that's the case, they need to quit being so mute, because it seems like the dumbasses from their party have the lion's share of the mic time.

    It would seem that way wouldn't it? Of course with the media as liberal as it is they choose which soundbytes to put on the air.

    I wouldn't worry too much about the "liberal" media; Fox News is there to provide us unbiased news. They're "Fair and Balanced" after all...

    The US women's soccer team is also asking for equal pay. Talk about your bunch of fat fucks.

    If that happened the teams would go bankrupt because nobody watches women's soccer.

    Nobody watches US men's soccer either, truthfully.

  • Fox news has actually been the least biased major news source this election.

    Mostly becuse they hate all the candodates including the Republican nominee

    I wouldn't say it's a straw man argument; both of our points are about media bias. You advocated that today's media shows a liberal bias and selectively edits their clips to fit their narrative; I don't completely disagree with you on that. However, my point is that other news outlets like FoxNews do the exact same thing, just with consevative narratives. There are plenty of moderate, so called "RINO" conservatives out there, but the amount of air time they get is significantly less compared to other conservatives who toe the party line.

    Honestly, I don't get my news from one or two sources anymore; each major news agency today shows some form of bias and is beholden to liberal or conservative narratives. I usually look at the same story on multiple sites to get the general idea of what happened.

    Sure it is bud. Bring up Fox News every time somebody complains about the media is the strawman. Fox News has the counterpart to MSNBC. Basically a channel mostly populated by opinion shows. I'm talking about Outlets that should be mainstream but aren't. Network news, the major newspapers you know that kind of thing. Yes we all know that one network, Fox, leans to the right.

    Again, I have to disagree with you on the straw man call. You mentioned liberal media bias, which I concurred happens with some media outlets, such as CNN, MSNBC, Salon, Facebook (apparently), etc. I'm not trying to discredit or deny that liberal bias in some news outlets happens. I simply pointed out that that bias runs both ways. I just mentioned FoxNews as a quick jot, since they are usually the most ergregious when it comes to pretending not to be biased. However, they are not the only conservative-biased sources. Breitbart, the Blaze, Drudge Report, Newsmax, New York Post, Washington Times - all are right leaning.

    And even if a news source is biased in one direction on the political spectrum, that doesn't necessarily disqualify it as a valid news source; i'm what I would describe as a classical liberal, however, I do enjoy reading Breitbart.
