New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman recently tweeted the following question:

“Other than San Bernardino shootings, has there been a terrorist attack involving a non-US-born attacker since 9/11?”
I usually say that asking questions is a good thing, because I am very much in favor of curiosity and learning.
However, for a New York Times reporter to ask such a question in the year 2017 is actually a bad thing, not a good thing. For this person with this job to ask this question in this year proves that this New York Times reporter is completely clueless as to what has been happening in this country for the past decade and a half, and thus, is not qualified to hold the job of a New York Times reporter.
For the record, here are some terrorist attacks that happened in the U.S. after the 9-11 attacks, and involved at least one perpetrator who was an immigrant:

I think we ought to use vetting on EVERYONE who travels to those countries. Even citizens.
Fort Hood...the good doctor ...I’m sure it was just workplace violence.
Habberman and the NYTimes support Islamic terrorists
as they supported the Nazis against America.
They are treasonous animals who lie for sedition.
You missed the Burlington Mall shooter in WA state.
The New York Slimes, all the snooze that’s fit to print.

Reporters need to be vetted and an IQ test on the side.
The old saying “There’s no such thing as a stupid question”
Oh yes there is just listen to press conferences in the last 20 or so years.
They lie for their own ego, which forbids them from ever agreeing with a politician across partisan lines. Selfish reasons.
She is playing loose with the facts of foreign national, but she won’t say Muslim...
Other than San Bernardino shootings, has there been a
terrorist attack involving a non-US-born attacker since 9/11?
...never mind
Forgot Ft. Hood.

I disagree. Being totally clueless and completely agenda drive in not a disqualification for a job as a "reporter" at the NYT but an absolute job requirement.
We’ve heard that for libs, history begins new every morning. Here’s what it looks like IRL.
Wasn’t there one at a factory, guy with a knife either stabbed someone or cut their throat and the supervisor used his CCW firearm to stop the attack?
Shilling as a Democrat media operative is such hard work - so many lies to keep straight poor maggie can’t keep it all straight. They don’t know what lie to tell next.
These people are f’n idiots.
