A black reporter in Pennsylvania was reportedly removed from covering George Floyd protests over a joke she posted on Twitter about fans of country music star Kenny Chesney.
The tweet suggested that the reporter showed “bias,” her employer, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reportedly determined.
“Horrifying scenes and aftermath from selfish LOOTERS who don’t care about this city!!!!!” reporter Alexis Johnson tweeted Sunday, along with several photos of trash in a parking lot.

Well, in fairness, I remember that concert happening, and being completely disgusted at the goddamned scumbag Shittsburgher concertgoers. That’s looter behavior, although we are all becoming looters, now, I guess.
PITTSBRUGH POST-GAZETT is a liberal worthless piece of b.s.
First time There’s been any courtesy to recognize this. Society tip toes around every race except whites. If we are going to address racism, I appreciate the fairness.
“ The Post-Gazette management told Johnson her tweet “showed bias and as such, [she] could no longer cover anything related to the protests of the police murder of George Floyd and the systemic racism that for too long has been a dirty segment of our national fabric,” the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh said in a letter about the incident, according to the Pittsburgh City Paper“
The reporter has been removed from covering the protests because of her bias.
Shame on those white people. We had a good record of cleaning up after ourselves.
probably doesn’t compare to post rap concerts....
aledged.....
The same reason why a LOT of people get away with calling a party (spokesman, platform agenda, etc etc etc) the democratIC party, instead of the democrat party (spokesman, platform agenda, etc etc etc):
Linguistic laziness and/or journalistic perfidy
Surprised she wasn’t called out for homophobic...
Because they need a word to have meaning in their lives.
They don’t care that it means something “actually” as a legal definition or in general
It was manslaughter and they guy should be strung up in my opinion but, words and definitions matter and he will spend 30 years behind bars and be a bitch for anyone who wants his azz
You do realize the vast majority of people who go to rap concerts are white.
Newspaper will apologize, give her a bump in pay, allow her to continue reporting on Floyd’s death...and present her with the opportunity to choose one person in management that will be drawn & quartered in the village square.
Because black or something...
