This is why people despise the news media... Reporter resigns after false tweet that Maryland shooting suspect had MAGA hat Reporter resigns after false tweet that Maryland shooting suspect had MAGA hat A reporter in Springfield, Mass., resigned from his job Friday after posting a Twitter message falsely stating that Maryland shooting suspect Jarrod Ramos had brought a "Make America Great Again" hat to the office of the Capital Gazette. Conor Berry, who wrote for the Republican, tweeted an image of a MAGA hat Thursday, and suggested that Ramos had left it behind at the Gazette office after allegedly killing five Gazette employees. Backlash was swift. Berry deleted the tweet and apologized in a follow-up tweet Friday morning. “Folks, My 21-year career as a “journalist,” a fancy term that makes my skin crawl, frankly, came to a screeching halt yesterday with one stupid, regrettable tweet,” Barry wrote. “Can’t take it back; wish I could. My since apologies to all good, hardworking reporters and to POTUS supporters.” Berry told the Boston Globe that the tweet was intended to be a “snarky, sarcastic, cynical remark.” In his resignation letter, Berry conceded that his tweet “taints the good work of fair-minded journalists everywhere.” Wayne Phaneuf, executive editor of the Republican, said journalists must be “more vigilant than ever” in their efforts to be fair and accurate. President Donald Trump, who has frequently criticized journalists for reporting “fake news,” on Friday said, “Journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their jobs.” Berry was not the first journalist to apologize for a tweet suggesting that the president or one of his supporters shared responsibility for Thursday's massacre. Reuters reporter Rob Cox tweeted Thursday, "This is what happens when @realDonaldTrump calls journalists the enemy of the people. Blood is your hands, Mr. President. Save your thoughts and prayers for your empty soul." The tweet was later deleted.
"taints the good work of fair-minded journalists everywhere.” Not many of those around these days, especially those with the leftist bend. Trump must be stopped, he's evil. Lies are oaky, not just okay, mandatory.
TWTR is one of the top reasons why Trump won and will win again in 2020. With every deranged liberal threat, lie, attack, etc the Trump base grows. Hollywood and the lib media just keep shooting themselves in the foot. Keep it up please. MAGA
What is the "captain" saying about lies? https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fact-check-friday-5000-judges-falsehoods/story?id=56235581 "They came in to see me last week. They said, "We'd like to hire 5,000 more judges," the president said at the White House on Monday. "5,000, you ever hear of a thing like that?" Turns out no one has.
This is the right wing schtick, someone makes a snarky sarcastic remark on their PERSONAL twitter feed and they are run out of business by the so called free speech brigade. Fucking hypocrites. And people who post fake shit from Breitbart and FoxNews are suddenly lecturing on why people hate media.
I would like to thank the lefties on elitetrader, exgopher especially, for opening my eyes to how mental the progressives really are.
"You think I'm an arrogant ass---- who thinks he's above the law, and I think you're a slime bucket who gets most of his facts wrong." Jobs kickstarted a 2008 interview with the New York Times with this gem.
That's an honor coming from a Trump supporter, I must be doing something right in life if supporters of some deranged baboon pedophile cult are calling you out.
Hey, it's just locker room talk. And you guys should thank the NYT for Trump getting elected, without them pushing the bullshit email story, it would have been a normal election and even Russian trolls wouldn't have been able to save his lying ass.
