Jesse Watters on Guys Driving in New York
A fun exercise for you would be to watch the video at this Media Matters post.
It's meant to be a jokey one about New York's traffic problems. This Fox guy, Jesse Watters, goes around New York interviewing drivers and workers out on the streets. Then he quips to one driver that the traffic problems are obviously created by women being allowed to drive.
And that's how Media Matters labels the story. But the real story is in the video, my friends. Because I'm pretty sure that Watters didn't talk to a single female driver! New York has nothing but guys driving.
Maybe that was part of the comedy, eh? A deeply intellectual approach to New York's traffic problems? One which on purpose only samples male drivers so that Watters could make that joke about women driving (and sorta shake hands with Saudi Arabia which doesn't have any traffic problems because women are not allowed to drive).
Nah. I don't think so.
