Bingo! What sparked the latest persecution complex from a hack? Well, since it is a day ending in “y,” a lapdog journo had to expose his or her true, and biased, colors. Enter this Guardian opinion writer:

Um. Not so fast, toots. As Twitchy reported, yet another false media narrative was attempted in regard to GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul. Media attempted to create a kerfuffle by falsely claiming Sen. Paul stormed out of an interview with The Guardian. Except, you know, THIS is what happened:
We didn't turn the lights off and neither did my staff. CNN producers did. It was time for my interview with @DanaBashCNN – Team Rand

Oops! Nice work, lapdoggies. As actor Rob Lowe recently pointed out, a hashtag for some media outlets should be #NeverLetTheFactsRuinAGoodStory.
I STAND CORRECTED: lights were turned out at Paul/Guardian/Periscope event by CNN people

Corrected, yet no apology, natch. Because it’s totally not her fault anyway, guys. Y’all are just meany pants and stuff. Especially men.

Ugh. Men are the worst. MT @kath_krueger Lots of men very upset about lights! Does not negate the fact that when pressed,Rand did not answer

Giggling madly.
@kath_krueger Accountability. Maybe regretting your biased statements about Rand Paul's media skills? No apology yet.
— Jackie Wellfonder (@Wellfonder) April 10, 2015
Ding, ding, ding!
But no. Accountability is for suckas, apparently.

Waaah.
Pathetic, ma’am.

Perfect.
@kath_krueger Faux outrage on you and the medias part will do that to you. Blame yourself.

Yep. But instead, she bravely ran away.
A @GuardianUS journo blocked me for this tweet? I hope @kath_krueger got to her safe place to watch Paddington Bear. https://t.co/d0R8h80UxX

Ridiculous. And telling.
What was the oh-so-offensive tweet? Oh, just some truth:
Are you unaware that everybody hates the media? RT @kath_krueger Rand Paul is very not so good at interviews with the media!
— jon gabriel (@exjon) April 10, 2015
We guess the truth, like Rand Paul, is oh-so-scary to media.
The snit fit was bad enough. But Ms. Krueger’s next announcement truly moved into the beyond parody arena:
NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION: some personal news
— Katherine Krueger (@kath_krueger) April 10, 2015
It's my last day @GuardianUS as my fellowship ends. THRILLED to say I'll be joining @TPM as an editor starting 4/20
— Katherine Krueger (@kath_krueger) April 10, 2015
Perfect. Match.
