Look at those brave, heroic, firefighters.
Is there anything more obnoxious than watching a bunch of journalists pat one another on the back for being glorified bloggers?
Maybe don’t answer that …
I started this week looking at the origins of this journalistic moment in Ferguson, which took me into a story about @WesleyLowery & @washingtonpost , which led me right back to James Bennet & @nytimes. Here it is: https://t.co/eFu7NNBZHB

But they don’t want to be the story

RedSteeze was about as impressed with this as we are:
Cool. Wesley Lowery gained journo celeb status for being detained at a McDonalds. It made his career. He attended film premieres and hung out with celebrities. Meanwhile Ferguson residents had their stores burned to ground and you guys all moved on. Maybe you’re the problem also https://t.co/B4W4kQTNYP

But … their truth! They’re reporting their truth because it’s so REAL.
Something.
Ok, it’s stupid.
I wish I could double ❤️That.
Btw, sorry Hollywood…,” hands up, don’t shoot “ NEVER f’in happened, a holes.— Scott (@CCGrillMaster) June 8, 2020
What percent of Americans know “Hands up, don’t shoot” was a lie?

Seriously, thank you. This is the best media outing I’ve seen in years. Don’t stop.

The cop who was attacked in Ferguson,by all accounts a good cop, lost his job. He lost probably his career because a thug tried to kill him and the Obama Administration created a circus out of nothing. The store clerk wasn’t the only one who lost

Fair point BUT we’ve at least heard part of his story.
Not to mention the uptick in violent crime that ravaged Ferguson once the race grifters moved on.
