But alleged “senior staff reporter” (according to her Twitter bio) Melissa Gira Grant doesn’t want to hear about it:
I refuse to read it, but from what I have read, Reason has found in a MAGA teen video their own Zapruder film but for “disproving” white supremacy

“I refuse to read it.” Welp, there you have it, folks.
Hello new readers who have read my bio and no more and are incensed INCENSED I say that I don’t share their racism

Maybe they’re not so much “INCENSED” as they are impressed by her brazen admission that she, as a journalist, doesn’t actually care about the facts of the situation.
What an utterly bizarre thing for a journalist to write. https://t.co/EUxAhUnNmH

Imagine! A journalist that's not interested in having all the facts before manufacturing a conclusion! Unheard of!

pretty bad look to say you won't even read something that people across the spectrum are acknowledging as an important piece.

Refusing to face reality is never a good look for someone claiming the mantle of objectivity.

Kudos to her for telling the truth, at least: As a supposed journalist, she has no interest in practicing journalism.

So you’re a journalist who doesn’t care about facts? Very 2019, Melissa

All hail our Guardians of Truth!
With today's journalistic standards? Thought this was par for the course.

You’re demonstrating why people are right to loathe the media. Thanks.
