She also took the maiden voyage of the Cross-Bay ferry, which has the potential to be pretty cool, even if we could have spent the money on sewer upgrades, because wouldn't it be nice to have tourists off the Howard Frankland?
Ladies and gentleman, we have ourselves a troll. Shocking, we know. Seems that a local media outlet can do everything it can to try and report both sides — to the point where we get accused of false equivalency by the conservatives (and the liberals) — and there's always got to be someone. Bradshaw can cover every Trump rally, attend the RNC and quote the conservative candidate ad nauseam and we still get hit. Media critic Jeremy Lee posted underneath yesterday’s "Sh*t Happened" on Facebook:
"What about Donna Brazile rigging the presidential debates? Your news is always so biased CL. What about the FBI re-opening the investigation? What about rigging elections, and voter fraud. Ohhh, I guess none of this fits your narrative. You are just as bad as the MSM. No credibility at all. Just a biased news source promoting propaganda."
Sigh. So here's where we feed the trolls, although we doubt Mr. Lee actually reads the paper.
Dr. Mr. Lee,
Although we'd like to make the case that this column usually summarizes a few news stories, often with a heavy focus on local issues, and although we'd encourage you actually read our paper instead of merely cruising social media, looking for reasons to be offended, here's what you think we should have written:
Donna Brazile lost her job at CNN after Wikileaks — which has gone after the Clinton campaign with dogged determination — hacked emails and showed Brazile shared debate questions with friends working on Clinton's campaign. Although this makes CNN look worse than Clinton — the network pays partisan commentators to appear as newscasters, which made many of us in the media shudder even before this — thankfully, Trump supporters have been able to spin this as "Killary" and, we don't know, something about taking our guns.
Because Anthony Weiner can't keep it in his pants the FBI opted to delve back into the whole email debacle days before the election. What's that, now? Yeah, his estranged wife works for Clinton, so they're looking into his sexy-time emails, because that's totally what we want the FBI to be doing. Ummmm, maybe something about how "the real criminal is in us all" or, we don't know, Benghazi?
As for rigging elections and voter fraud, well, we're sorry to disappoint, but we have to keep to legitimate news sources — we can't quote mymomsblog.com as a vetted news source. So, um, here's what we found: Um, no. No evidence exists.
I'm out. I can't wait for this shit to be over, y'all.
