more worrisome is what secretary mcdonald said on november 6 that, and i quote, the new power i was granted is the appeal time for senior executive service employee of the va has been reduced in half. that's the only change in the law. so the law didn't grant any kind of new power that would suddenly give me the ability to walk into a room and simply fire people, end quote. now, it is clear that the secretary and those advising him remain confused about what the law actually does, which is much more than simply reduce the appeal time. the secretary can't simply walk into a room and fire an employee without evidence warranting that action. but the law does give him the authority to remove that employee for poor performance or misconduct. the secretary has also cited a plethora of numbers that he says illustrates the department's commitment to holding individuals accountable. for example, he says there is one list of a thousand names of employees being removed and another list of 5,600 names of employees being removed, and yet another list of 42 names of senior executives that va is proposing action on. so

i do think that news organizations, especially cable news organizations appeal to their particular audiencesthey want they cater to their tastes because that's good for business. so to the extent that that article has a hint of unfortunate truth attached to it, i think it would be because a lot of liberals america think a grave injustice was done. they think an innocent black kid was shot by a racist white cop. the facts are irrelevant. they have already reached a verdict. so, there are going to be places that emphasize that angle. i don't have a problem with emphasizing the angle of activists who think that an injustice was done. i have a problem when journalists don'tjx.fn challenge that person. there was one -- i understand that msnbc is a footnote in all of this, but there was a person on msnbc who pretty much said that black kids are fair game in america these days, something we have heard too many times. if she wants to say that, that's one thing. but the host sat there like a the toed plant. like a mime. you have to challenge statements like that. >> a news organization would do that.
