As we close out 2019 let us hope that 2020 brings a return to responsible journalism where news and analysis take precedence over activism and virtue signaling.
A startling example of media malfeasance went unnoticed by many in the holiday rush, but came to life right here in Massachusetts when a sports reporter was brought on to Boston Public Radio to give her opinion on the recent Army-Navy football game in which some cadets were seen making the “OK” sign with their hands.
It is a physical gesture that has been an innocent form of communication seemingly forever but has been intentionally miscast as a sign connoting “white power” on fringe social media forums in recent years.
The reporter, Trenni Kusnierek of NBC Sports, a Boston Public Radio contributor, joined the WGBH radio show to explain to the hosts and the audience what had happened.

We reached out to Kusnierek but have received no comment at the time of publication.
Maybe she’ll apologize to the honorable cadets she smeared. Some of those young people are bound to see combat.
Like so many in the media, that particular reporter is content to levy heavy accusations at innocent people based on the rules of progressive intersectionality but feels no pressing need to undo the damage or even apologize to the innocent victims.
In 2020, let us hope for a better media than this.
I am constantly amazed that none of these so called journalists have neighbors that know who they are.
Why would anyone think we will get better than this in 2020?
Trenni Kusnierek?
Never heard of her.
What the heck kind of name is that anyway?
I’ll give her one thing though. She does look like a tranny.
We won’t. Just as we didn’t get any better in 2019, 2018, 2017 etc etc.
Money talks. Righteousness walks.
Hit them financially using widespread, never-ending defamation lawsuits.
Defamation is an area of law that provides a civil remedy when someone’s words end up causing harm to your reputation or your livelihood. Libel is a written or published defamatory statement, while slander is defamation that is spoken.
“As we close out 2019 let us hope that 2020 brings a return to responsible journalism where news and analysis take precedence over activism and virtue signaling.”
what a saccharine and naive pile of bullshit.
uh, why not just hope for it to snow delicious and colorful snow cones in Hell while you’re at it?
I will just continue to not bother tuning into the biased nonsense, as I’ve done for the last number of years.
The quality of a representative government will never exceed the quality of the press.
