Because God forbid the media cover Trump in a positive way …
Trump lied when he said he brought jobs back by talking to Sprint. My local news, @KCBSKCALDesk just repeated his lie on the 10pm news. pic.twitter.com/4LnguT2lIb

We get it, Wil, you don’t like Donald Trump.
When local news outlets like @KCBSKCALDesk uncritically repeat lies as if they're facts, they misinform viewers and fail to do their job.

If you can read his meltdown over a simple news story on a local CBS affiliate without laughing, your funny bone may be broken.
So because of what @KCBSKCALDesk did tonight, a lot of people will say "I heard on the news that Trump brought jobs back with a phone call!"

Waaaaaaaah!
~ @KCBSKCALDesk owes its viewers an apology and a clarification, because its job is to *inform*, not spread propaganda.

Wil owes it to his viewers to get over it and stop cluttering up Twitter feeds with nonsense and ridiculous blubbering.
Oh wait, he’s blocked about 2/3 of Twitter (including Twitchy) so then again the only people he’s reaching are in his whiny proverbial choir anyway.
And it may seem like a dumb thing to get upset about, but this is how people like him get away with misleading voters, @KCBSKCALDesk

You don’t need anything after the “but” in your statement. It’s a dumb thing to get upset about. Period.
A lot of people who only have an antenna trust and rely on @KCBSKCALDesk to inform them. Tonight, those people were mislead. This matters.

Who are these mystery people who only have an antenna for news IN CALIFORNIA? Really dude?
Eventually one of the station’s reporters addressed Wil about the story and shared Sprint’s announcement with him:
We should have been clear it's a mix of new & jobs coming back from overseas-Here's Sprint's announcement: https://t.co/3nZEIVMrdF

Way to go Wil, you badgered a local news station into submission. You big toughie you.
