Journalists really don’t seem to be getting the message when it comes to dealing with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ press team. Seriously. It seems like no matter how many times reporters get shot down and publicly humiliated by Team DeSantis members like press secretary Bryan Griffin, they just keep coming back for more and more, over and over again.
Today’s faceplant comes courtesy of a Forbes Careers Senior Contributor who shall unfortunately remain nameless (we wish we could give him a personalized shout-out!):
Bryan Griffin (@BryanDGriffin) ~ Forbes reporter: "Hi, I'm going to call you a racist. I need your comment by 2:00PM!"
Cheap, partisan activism. Not journalism.
Wow. That is ... that’s something.
Pat Lehmann (@lehmann_dev) ~ “Weaponinging”
Andrew Kloster (@ARKloster) ~ "Weaponinging" ... Forbes can’t even write an email. Awesome!
"Weaponinging" ... this illiterate dope is a "Careers Senior Contributor" for Forbes magazine???!!! Apparently, this person's "careers" experience must solely be in the "field" of Ebonics.
And in fact, it is really even worse for this "Careers Senior Contributor" ... the title of this person's hit-piece shows that he (or she ... or, maybe, it?) is very much a part of the brain-dead cabal that came up with the silly term "woke," in the first place. "Anti-Equity Slur" ... puhleeeeeeease! Okay ... you don't like people using your term "woke"? Fine ... we'll use "woketard," instead.
Too many journalists are weaponinging their ineptitude these days. And failing miserably.
ceneblock (@ceneblock) ~ Same line of leading questioning as "when did you stop beating your wife?"
Princess of Power (@AKASheRah) ~ It's the "best regards" at the end that really makes this.
Heh heh heh heh heh ... yeah, it adds just that little bit of je ne sais quoi to his hate letter, now don't it?
John 'pro-norms' Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) ~ Incredible.
Maybe “incredible” is the wrong word, only because we’ve now seen several examples of inquiries like this to DeSantis’ press people. It’s become normal, in a way.
Good thing Team DeSantis has gotten quite good at handling these people:
Bryan Griffin (@BryanDGriffin) ~ The response. We will see what ends up in the article.
