New York Times reporter Kenneth Vogel was blasted for scrutinizing a non-profit organization aimed at helping former inmates after its founder was recognized and praised by President Donald Trump during the Republican National Convention on Tuesday.
Vogel took to Twitter to attack Jon Ponder, a black man and former inmate himself who found Christ while incarcerated and started the organization “Hope for Prisoners” after he was released.
“JON PONDER’s story is inspirational,” Vogel wrote on Twitter in which he posted a copy of the organization’s tax form.
“But should he be endorsing a candidate for president while being identified as the founder & CEO of Hope for Prisoners, which — as a 501(c)(3) non-partisan non-profit group — is barred from participating in partisan politics?”
Vogel was immediately set upon by supporters of the organization and defenders of Ponder, who received a full pardon from the president during an RNC segment Tuesday evening.
“Do you know how many swampy DC organizations do this on a daily basis?! You start with Hope for Prisoners?! Not journalism,” former Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell wrote in response to Vogel’s post.

BJ's Pull quote -
While some users pointed out groups like the Clinton Foundation are registered as non-partisan though its founders, Bill and Hillary Clinton remain politically active, others noted that individuals who found non-profits can support whomever they chose while separate from their organizations. Still others noted that Ponder did not actually endorse the president during the segment, nor did he do so on behalf of his organization.

Reporters are morons
The Plantation Keepers do not like their coloreds to get off the Plantation.
