ThinkProgress seeks interns; Katie Pavlich seeks 'living wage' and health plan info

ThinkProgress, the lefty organization which pushes for “living wages” and health care for all, seeks interns:

Come intern for us this summer! Info here: http://t.co/qvuXxvRuAs

Katie Pavlich noticed a piece of information missing in the ThinkProgress posting:

Excuse me, I don't see "paid" in this post. “@thinkprogress: Come intern for us this summer! Info here: http://t.co/R2ThtjzrLT”

— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) February 3, 2014

Of course the positions would be paid, right? Unpaid or even low paid jobs are only offered by evil right-wingers, according to the liberal talking points.

Knowing that, Pavlich kept pressing:

No seriously @thinkprogress, will you be paying interns a living wage? DC is expensive!

— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) February 3, 2014

Hmmm I sure see a lot of intern testimonials about how important the *experience* of interning is, nothing about money though @thinkprogress

— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) February 3, 2014

Hi @JohnPodesta, just wondering how much you're paying interns these days? I can't seem to find it on the application http://t.co/Ft7evdcPvu

Hmm. Maybe they’re at lunch or something and aren’t available to give out the “living wage” they’ll be paying these interns.

Here’s another question that deserves an answer in order to prove how ThinkProgress is “leading by example”:

Surely ThinkProgress allows their interns to collectively bargain. Right?

@KatiePavlich @crousselle @thinkprogress @townhallcom @LeadershipInst Does Think Progress allow interns to unionize?

— Jack in the East (@talkradio200) February 3, 2014

So far the only response to these requests has been the sound of distant crickets.

Meanwhile…

Hi @thinkprogress, you know who does pay interns? —-> @Townhallcom and we're a bunch of mean conservatives!

— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) February 3, 2014

! RT @crousselle: @KatiePavlich @thinkprogress @townhallcom when I interned at @LeadershipInst I got paid AND they provided housing & food.

Somebody doesn’t seem to be following the instruction of their leadership:
