Non-Stop Fake Outrage From Republicans Who Don't Bother To Mention They're Republicans
"I say the price of meat has just gone up ..."Parker Molloy / The Present Age:CNN ran a story on the cost of milk with claims that didn't add up, and two staffers reacted to criticism of the segment by lashing out at critics on Twitter — I didn't plan on writing about milk today, but... here we are. — But first, let's travel back to the year 2010.Brianna Keilar / @brikeilarcnn: The child tax credit has been essential for them and they're very thankful for it. It spared mom and dad from taking on second jobs and helped offset the rising cost of food, gas and utilities, but they're still feeling the squeeze on their grocery bill. https://twitter.com/...Evan McMorris-Santoro / @evanmcs: Truly remarkable number of assholes on here attempting to dunk on a charming family who lays out how it feels to shop with price rises. Very wise and cool tweets. Glad you're all weathering the economy so well! https://twitter.com/...Rob Sheridan / @rob_sheridan: A good read from the always excellent @ParkerMolloy on today's milk debacle and why it matters, which boils down to: Media outlets like @CNN are uncritically rolling out the red carpet for fake right-wing outrage; it's the Tea Party all over again: https://www.readthepresentage.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...Ruben Gallego / @rubengallego: We shouldn't diminish what this family is feeling. I am just confused, if they are a typical middle class American family should be getting $200-$300 per kid in child tax credit. With 7 children that is $1400 to $2100 per month. https://twitter.com/...Colby Hall / Mediaite: Got Outrage? Twitter Has a Cow Over CNN Segment on Family Buying Gallons of MilkKatherine Wiles / MarketWatch: People are having a cow over CNN's ‘12 gallons of milk a week’ segment — here's whyPeter Suciu / Forbes: Got Milk? Humorous Reactions And Fact-Checks To CNN's ‘12 Gallons A Week’ Milk Report@cmclymer: 1. They failed to verify the price of milk claimed by this family, which is false. 2. They failed to disclose that several of the eight kids are grown adults over 21. 3. Or that the parents are Republicans. 4. Or a rational comparison of grocery prices. I mean...@cmclymer: The price-of-milk story on CNN today is astonishingly incomplete and sloppy. It reminds me of when the Dr. Seuss controversy got ramped up, and despite little evidence for the claim and a lot of missing context, some reporters just ran with it. Disappointing, to say the least.@ijbailey: This is an even more damning indictment of that CNN “milk” family story this morning. It left out this critical information and said nothing about the fight in DC to extend these benefits to help families like these even more. This type of narrative shapes policy - in bad ways. https://twitter.com/...Patrick Thornton / @pwthornton: @brikeilarcnn How was this not in the piece and why was this piece done in the first place?Jared Holt / @jaredlholt: You'd think that @ParkerMolloy would consider this nation's rising milk costs before she made me shoot mine out of my nose https://www.readthepresentage.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...Jordan Weissmann / Slate: Yes, That's a Ton of MilkParker Molloy / @parkermolloy: This stuff, sadly, does matter. https://www.readthepresentage.com/ ...Parker Molloy / @parkermolloy: Not only did a CNN reporter call people “assholes” because they criticized his error-filled report, but then the host of the show that aired it retweeted his post calling the audience “assholes.” This is cool with you guys, @mdornic? https://twitter.com/...Kimberly Ricci / UPROXX: CNN's Brianna Keilar Attempted To Defend A Report About Milk Prices That Left Everyone Scratching Their HeadsBrianna Keilar / @brikeilarcnn: Look, the silver lining here is that a lot of people who have never had to shop around for the store with the cheap milk are now ... never mind.David Rutz / Fox News: Liberals mock family of 11 featured on CNN concerned about rising cost of milkStephen Douglas / The Big Lead: Do Not Dunk on CNN's Milk Family For Buying So Much MilkZach Silk / The Pitch from Civic Ventures: Keep Your Promises — Two days ago, voters handed Democrats some high-profile losses in the off-year elections.Aaron Gordon / VICE: CNN's Viral Milk Segment Gets Inflation Completely Wrong
