This nutshells the danger of rubber bullet-confusing journo's reporting in Ferguson

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.

Heh.

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