What ups the confidence factor in our oh-so-esteemed journalists? Well, as Twitchy reported, HuffPo journo Ryan Reilly confused rubber bullets with ear plugs. No, for serious.

This tweet summed it all up:

So the guy reporting on the "militarized" police all week thinks ear plugs are rubber bullets. Great.

Precisely.

@MattCover @redsteeze pretty sure those were militarized earplugs

Heh.

On the bright side …

@MattCover @redsteeze On the other hand, that guess was a lot closer to the truth than what economics reporters write every day.

Godspeed, journalism.

‘Science much?’ Is THIS the reason HuffPo dweeb journo confused rubber bullets with ear plugs?
