    Imagine hating liberalism so much you think media shouldn't report evidence that a mayor has an unresolved addiction problem, smokes crack, uses racial and homophobic slurs, and is very likely beating his wife. https://twitter.com/jonkay/status/1004363019822886912 …

        I don’t think he hates liberalism as much as he hates not being the Centre of attention.

        That may have been ow this started out, but I fear Jon has been reading too much of his mom's "content" and may no longer remember exactly why he started down this path.

        being a shitty journalist is apparently fine as long as it "triggers the libs"

        And imagine bringing back a thoroughly discredited smear against a journalist doing his job as Jon Kay also just did

        Isn't that exactly what media SHOULD report? I don't see what it has to do with liberalism, conservatism or any other political philosophy.

        @jonkay the guy who used studies of Indigenous people in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Brazil as well as offhand testimony by a priest about Aboriginals to make a totally not racial argument about how all First Nations culture is inferior, wants to talk about journo ethics?

        So... Reporting on the fact that she's suing him is becoming "the great protector."

        I guess, in order to be truly neutral, the media just need to not actually report any news. Which is great if you're a reporter, because it sure frees up a lot of time!
