As good as the RNC using a darkened image of Kaep?

The national press is a garbage vocation.

Thomas said that she had used the express checkout line, despite having more than the stated items, because she is nine months pregnant and has trouble standing for long.

This story spread quickly on Twitter by blue checkmarks and a number of news outlets. The lady's already walked it back. The guy in question was a Democrat Cuban. He did admit to calling her a bitch because they exchanged words about how much she had in the Express lane. I remember way back on Wednesday when the press wouldn't repeat the "Omar married her brother" quote without pointing out that it was an "unverified claim". If only there was a profession that did, in fact, verify such claims.

The national press is a garbage vocation. I respect slip and fall lawyers more than them. At least the lawyers are actually doing some work.

The Georgia Democratic lawmaker who went viral with her claim that she was told to "go back where you came from" at a grocery store was actually the person who made the statement, a Tuesday report said, citing witnesses.

According to the AJC, a Publix employee told a Cobb County deputy that she witnessed Thomas "continuously tell Eric Sparkes to ‘Go back where you came from,’” but not from Sparkes.

Jeez, this is awful. I love how the chyron goes from "President Hosts African American Pastors and Faith Leaders At The White House" to "Controversial African American Pastor Meets With President" as soon as it becomes clear that's he's not interested in the petty partisan crap. CNN is just the worst.
