Let’s take a look what NPR thinks about gender pay gap:
https://www.npr.org/2022/03/16/1086732450/on-equal-pay-day-women-are-trying-to-make-a-dollar-out-of-83-cents https://www.npr.org/2022/03/16/1086732450/on-equal-pay-day-w...
Are they clear that the gap is mostly about number of hours actually worked in a year, and difference in gender distribution across occupation? No, these are only alluded to in passing, if mentioned at all. In fact, this nonprofit venue’s messaging on the topic is the exactly the same as the one you can find in for-profit venues.
Profit motive as explanatory factor for why media misinforms people is greatly overstated.
