re: #9 lawhawk

Reporting and journalism. How does it work? Apparently the “esteemed poopologist Chuck Johnson thinks that journalism is writing things that don’t exist in reality, putting them in headlines that don’t stand up to scrutiny, and then move on to the next outrageous outrage.

He does this day after day. Week after week.

And his latest nothingburger is exhibit (aw heck, I’ve completely lost count), of how Chuck simply makes stuff up to fit his preconceived notion of what he wants reality to be, not what it is.

Reporting means taking comments made in context. At no time did the poopologist do that.

More to the point, any reputable journalist will work sources - both developing them from contacts and from those who contact them independently to develop stories.

And just like that, he’s on to one of the last nothingburgers to try and prop up the current one.

I’d say that the man is the “New Media” equivalent of a tabloid journalist, but that would imply that he’s a journalist. No, the man is just a smear artist whose modus operandi is throwing outrageous shit against the wall and then moving onto the next handful by the time people have begun to realize what it is that’s actually smeared on the wall.
