🔥 Journalists cannibalizing each other is becoming common practice in the prestige motivated grandstanding realm. (See: Courier Journal woke writers vs WAVE3 headline authors). Today's top clickbait sport for newby activist journos is torching colleagues. WTTG/Washington news anchor Blake McCoy tweeted his thoughts on obese people getting COVID vaccinations ahead of some "essential workers."

I rest my case.
