Jelly Journalist War: one man’s tweet is another man’s moralizing rebuke crusade. Meanwhile, more diseases are sprouting. Can we focus on real news?

🔥 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.” His bosses at WTTG have suspended the anchor for his tweet, even though McCoy deleted it and issued a subsequent apology.

The twitter mob, always searching to scorch non-woke speech, mobilized quickly to take down McCoy.

But then there’s this guy…a fellow journalist whose twitter feed has been non-stop trashing McCoy as if his insensitive message is the only news item in the universe. I smell jelly, Chris Weidmer.

Weidner, a D.C. journalist who can’t spell comorbidities, has been pumping a rage tsunami at McCoy on Twitter. Weidner even invites other media people to attack McCoy.

Me thinks there is a backstory to Chris’ fixation with Blake. Ten bucks says we will get that part of the story before the weekend.

Meanwhile, back to the real world. Vaccines are being distributed and lives are being saved. New variant strains of coronavirus and other infectious diseases are being discovered.

That’s actual news, people.
