'You miserable pieces of s*it': The Daily Beast gets called out for misleading tweet on the death of Gov. Kristi Noem's grandmother

The Daily Beast is under fire over this misleading tweet on the death of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s grandmother:

And yet Kristi Noem continues to downplay the virus, refuse a mask mandate, and ignore the terrible price her state is paying, says @michaeldalynyc https://t.co/wHcab2bkl5

Despite the way this tweet was worded, her grandmother did not die of Covid-19 in the nursing home:

Her grandmother didn’t die of COVID you miserable pieces of shit https://t.co/UGjZwjl5Vo

This is gross, but not surprising given who the Daily Beast has chosen to put in positions of editorial leadership.

Noem's grandmother tested negative for Covid-19. Her death has 0 to do with any discussion of the virus. https://t.co/ezxXME25c2

Headlines like these are why I always say “my father passed away in May (not from covid)” https://t.co/16MQWN1Ll9

“This is why people loathe the media”:

Second sentence of the piece: "The 98-year-old grandmother, Aldys Arnold, is said by Noem’s office to have tested negative for the virus”

This is why people loathe media. https://t.co/a7nChT7UxJ

This was really bad, even for them:

This is the most monstrous thing you bottom-feeding psychopaths have ever done. You are a trash outlet.

Her mother just died—and didn't die from COVID—and you're tormenting her? What the ever-loving hell is WRONG with you?
