What is “DEI research” and why does Tapper never even think to ask about it?

“DEI research” from these guys could easily mean “research that considers demographics” You know, like you would expect basically all health research to do?

I worked as an RN on cancer drug clinical trials. The trial sponsors would definitely care about any response differences that might exist between gender/race/nationality/etc. Inclusion is important—all drugs don’t work the same for all people.

Tapper never even thinks to ask because he's paid specifically to never ask those kinds of questions. He's not a journalist, he's a tout who hosts infomercials.

I don’t know if Tappet was ever a decent journalist but he is no longer a journalist and rather a soldier for the darkness.

Right? In February I was led to believe dei was about hiring practices. Gonna need all media people to ask for definitions every fucking time.

Not the point of the post, but I’m eager for reactionary Democrats to eventually start saying “hey asshole DEI is good.”

Stop yourself at the idea of Tapper thinking. He's a mass media TV "reporter". They don't think, they look thoughtful tug their chins and never ask a follow-up question

Could easily be that “polymerase transcription” got flagged by AI as woke based on full text search

They just want to destroy the government. Any fake excuse will do.

I'm guessing Vought is referring to the NIMHD www.nih.gov/institutes-n...

Tapper isn’t really a journalist. He exists to comfort the comfortable and doesn’t want to jeopardize his career by confronting anyone in power.

Not sure going down that rabbit hole would have been productive in the moment. Remember that guy wants to talk about anything BUT what will hurt Americans.
