That priceless quote is from the NYTimes, whose hacks clearly suffer from chicken-fried Stockholm Syndrome and need to be airlifted out.
@ChMadar These "hacks" have years of experience covering the South. How long have you been studying the South? Lived here for how many yrs?
@JimmyChalk @ChMadar Being close to something can help you to see it. It can also blind you to it.
@davidminpdx @ChMadar I get it. This is your issue. And you're on the right side of it and history.
@davidminpdx @ChMadar But to call journos who are capable of simultaneously holding more than one thought in their heads "hacks" is silly.
@davidminpdx @ChMadar The South does despise authority. And yet at the same time we're addicted to incarceration. It's a contradiction.
@davidminpdx @ChMadar We have to fix it. Sniping at local journos and trafficking in "fried Chicken" stereotypes isn't the way to do that.
@JimmyChalk @davidminpdx Chicken-fried, not fried chicken.
