Three suspensions at the Independent Journal Review have robbed the publication of what should have been a great week for it.
Only one member of the press accompanied Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to Asia recently and she was from IJR. Her big moment has been overshadowed, however, by the suspension of three of her colleagues: writer Kyle Becker, content editor Becca Lower, and Chief Content Officer Benny Johnson. (You know Johnson’s name because he got fired at Buzzfeed for plagiarism.) The post that caused the suspensions came after a Hawaiian judge blocked portions of Donald Trump‘s second travel ban.

What is true or false these days?
Dozens of sites reported Obama’s visit. Blithering obvious why he went there. Only a fool would call it a “coincidence.” If IJR wants to remove 2 of its best writers (Becker and Johnson) they are idiots.
scratchin my head.
No way the report was wrong.
Who the heck believes in coincidence ?
and how can conjecture be wrong ?
What pressure came to bear here ?
They had dinner together and Hussein likely passed on a thumb drive with most of the 43 page ruling completed.
This is all very odd. I think someone was reminded of what happened to Andrew Breitbart.
Something fishy going on...
Spidey senses saying keep your powder dry. Hmm, and speaking of, also seeing another spike in gun sales in the near future. The election was just the opening salvo. It’s going to be a long war...
“Blithering obvious why he went there.”
Sounds like “blithering obvious” means there isn’t any actual evidence to back up the theory.
We criticize the media when they make up stories that go against our political opinions, but you’re a-okay when they make up stories that coincide with your political opinions?
