Unapologetically American / 9 Year Old Journalist Has Thicker Skin Than Most College Students

(language warning)

Nine year old running her own newspaper. It's a good story. I went to her website and read some of her stories, noting her use of language and grammar. Her vocabulary is better than most kids at 9, but believable. And honestly I've read articles from big news that were not much better in terms of grammar. But reading the rebuttal to the complainers, yeah, she didn't write that. Someone helped her or cleaned it up for her.

Also, it's not that she scooped everyone so much. The cops asked the press not to report on it yet. She did it anyway. Still all the people making rude comments about her need some nut kicking.

The mainstream media sucks. Frankly, so does most ‘alternative’ media.

Yeah, I checked out her site and it's actually pretty good -- 9 year old or not. Hopefully, she stays on that track and not resorting to the verbiage of the site that reported her story. I agree with his sentiment.

I'd like her to regard personal bias a bit less. Saying that she scooped everyone else, and then implying that they weren't doing their jobs as well as her, is just spin when you find out that the cops asked the media not to report on it initially. The media complied. She didn't. It's a choice some news outlets make, whether or not to comply with such requests. And it's fair game for her to report on it anyway. But it's not a scoop.

“She spoke as a child, understood as a child and thought as a child,” he said, according to the BBC. “So when others look for answers to the question as to why this happened, what they should bear in mind, whatever was said and done, it was done by 13-year-old girl.”

At 13 I most certainly knew beating people over the heads with a television was not something you do. There is the system once again attempting to make excuses. Trying to make a victim of the criminal.

Holy crap! I had no idea this was a thing. Minnesota, Oklahoma, California, Arizona? Had to relieve the pressure. The California one was interesting. Yeah. Ramming your car into the building should do it. Pressure relieved. Building saved. A real live hero.

Racially charged joke by Hillary Clinton and Bill de Blasio leave some cringing.

The cliff notes version: Hillary and de Blasio (NYC mayor & former Clinton senate aide) were at a fundraiser with several predominant black New Yorkers. Clinton joked that de Blasio initially waited a while before endorsing her for president.

The mayor's response was that it took so long because he's on C.P. (colored people) time.

Now imagine the reaction if a Republican candidate said that.
