Reporter resigns after suggesting killer was Trump supporter

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts newspaper reporter has resigned after falsely suggesting the perpetrator of the deadly shooting at a Maryland newspaper was wearing a President Donald Trump-inspired “Make America Great Again” hat.

The Republican newspaper in Springfield reports Conor Berry has apologized for tarnishing the “good work of fair-minded journalists everywhere” in his Friday resignation letter.

Berry tweeted an image of the familiar red hat and suggested 38-year-old Jarrod Ramos had dropped a similar one on The Capital Gazette’s newsroom floor before opening fire and killing five people Thursday. The tweet has since been taken down.

The Republican’s executive editor Wayne Phaneuf says journalists must be “more vigilant than ever” in their efforts to be fair and accurate. Trump frequently criticizes reporters as peddlers of “fake news.”

What a dummy. Trump has ushered in an era of zero accountability. He should’ve doubled down on the claim or called it fake news.

Fair-minded journalist everywhere? Now that’s an oxymoron for you.
 
Oh look, another thread trashing the opposition for shit that both sides do regularly. The Republicans are no better than the Democrats. You're all a bunch of partisan, hypocritical halfwits with no interest in doing anything other than acting like complete *****. That's why this country is fucked.

Oh it is indeed s0n....the divide is gonna get far more enormous than it is now too. And it needs to....the days of "bipartisan unity" are long gone. The days of "FUCK YOU!" are here to stay and the best thing about that is one side's not gonna be winning!:hello77:. White American men are done with the bullshit!

Thanks to libwit scum it is.
 
Whether what the reporter put out there was stupid to say or not, what difference will their resignation make when other reporters can and will put out there whatever they want to as well which includes things that are way worse than what that report suggested? Also what does it matter whether any shooter stands for whoever the heck our leader is or not?

God bless you always!!!
