On WFAA Dallas 5:00PM News Program, Anchor Leaves Out Women's Unfair Pay in Lt. Gov. Office.

WFAA Channel 8 Texas News story by John McCae reported that State Laws were already in place to make sure that women received fair pay in Texas. There was no link to the story on the WFAA site when the site was checked about 7:30PM, this evening, April 9, 2014. See below. It seems as if Channel 8 is trying to hide the fact that State Law on fair pay, set up by the GOP, allows discrimination against women. Maybe Channel 8 was trying to make it seem that Governor and Lt. Governor should be given credit for the fairness that is about to happen due to President Obama's Executive Order coming before the Texas Governor's Election this November 2014.

This as a Bluing issue.
