One of my favorite Twitter users asked this question:
Serious question, has a single energy worker staring down the barrel of prolonged unemployment been brought on a major news network for an interview?
Not snarking, seriously asking.

The answer was “yes.” This is what CNN did.
To save their planet, we have to kill their jobs. CNN contributor John Sutter asks: In the fight against the climate crisis, what do we owe the workers who have helped power America for decades? https://t.co/5YXJWtcw9y pic.twitter.com/EUoScF574k

What fucking hack bullshit.
So lo and behold what else another media goon was doing on Twitter:
Hi there, I'm a Washington Post reporter working on a story about gun sales and am looking to talk to new gun owners. Would love to hear more – Hannah.Denham@washpost.com

You know what they are going to do to any poor but well-intentioned soul who tries to explain all the very rational reasons why they thought they needed a gun after the events of 2020.
When a reporter askes you to give an interview on a topic you know they are against, there is only one appropriate response:
that is seriously some bullshyte. they will say pretty much anything to push their narrative. can one get a degree in gaslighting from university now?
Bachelor of Arts in Communications have replaced journalism degrees in mass media for the most part. Talking heads on television are BA in Communications types now, almost exclusively.
Remember, there are no subject matter experts working in media. Because reasons.
A new gun owner talking to a minion of the Potomac Pravda — what could possibly go wrong for the good people? 🙁
The poor benighted red state coal workers will have to rely on St. Joe of Du Pont to hand out a few crumbs to survive a catastrophe created by St Joe. You can hear the schadenfreude.
Remember the Katie curic segment and the hatchet job she did……would be the same. Any new gun owner needs to go in there with a lawyer and record everything because those 5th estate bastards will edit and twist everything.
