Christina Pushaw would like answers from WaPo about their London-based reporter covering Florida & pushing Left's talking points

Quite often you’ll see news stories that conclude with “_____ didn’t return a request for comment ahead of publication.”

Christina Pushaw, press secretary for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has quite a doozy of an example, and it just reeks of “journalism”:

Hi @Adela_Suliman! You reached out to our office for comment at 5:20am and published your long, in-depth article at 7:44am claiming we "didn't respond to a request for comment." This is unethical journalism, and I demand an apology. Also, I responded in depth at 11am – UPDATE. pic.twitter.com/McFCsQmTAX

It's pretty obvious you talked to progressive activist groups and wrote your entire article based on their talking points, then contacted us immediately before publication at 5:20am (assuming we wouldn't answer immediately at that time) so you could check that box. We see you.

Pushaw would like some answers from the Post about why a London-based reporter is covering Florida issues. It would also be nice if somebody at the WaPo would explain time zones to their journo:

Oh cool look who got back to me after my tweets 👀🙏🏼 Now perhaps @washingtonpost can explain why a London reporter is writing stories about Tallahassee without taking into account our time zone. Also, it’s obvious Adela wrote this whole story before contacting us. pic.twitter.com/RCKTaqjJu8
