Ben Smith has recruited another non-latino reporter to his day job, Maggie Haberman.
The godfather of his day job is a bircher and his father worked for George Wallace. I am Puerto Rican and Chilean but I do follow politics. If it weren't for the civil rights movement, many positive changes that affected Latinos would not have happened. I take great offense in the fact that the founder of Ditmas Park Blog is associated with someone whose father worked for George Wallace. If you weren't aware, George Wallace fought for segregation. I know my focus is primarily on issues of police misconduct but I believe that the way police treat minorities is directly related to who covers them. If the press is so welcoming to birchers, George Wallace sympathizers, and people like Ben Smith who doesn't like latinos and other persons of color, how can we expect them to expose police brutality and the continued state-sponsored harassment of ethnic minorities?

Eloise's imaginary son has failed to post the imaginary filings of her imaginary lawsuit.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, the only place Eloise's imaginary suit has been filed is in her imagination.
Eloise is still suing Ben for defamation and libel right? How hilarious. . .
ReplyDeleteSo now YOU are an anti-semite.
