Hoo boy, the "reporters" over at NBC News are having a normal one. This time around, the so-called journalist in question is one Mirna Alsharif; before we dig in, here's her bio:
So, there's that. Anyway, Alsharif half-heartedly attempted to cover the brewing FEMA scandal, a story that The Daily Wire broke on Friday. As RedState's Ward Clark reported of the scandal,
This story is a big deal to everyone but the Democrat shills employed by the corporate media. NBC News' Alsharif knew it was her job to downplay the seriousness of the story, an undertaking she took on with pride. She left out key details, like the employee's name, and failed to acknowledge the original reporting done by Daily Wire. This is when Alsharif shook off her questionable mantle of "journalist" and assumed the role of petulant playground bully. Her response to the criticism that her report was "lazy" and "bad"? To proudly flaunt the fact that she failed to abide by journalistic standards through her failure to link back to Daily Wire's original story. Real mature stuff there. It gets worse. When other X/Twitter users called out Alsharif's poor reporting, she doubled down on the nastiness. There are apparently no grownups left in network newsrooms. She just couldn't let it go. Then there's this: We can't link to Mirna Alsharif's account because, you guessed it, she deleted it. It went "Plouffe!" We'd like to think that Alsharif took some time for some mature self-reflection and realized she came off like an embarrassingly unprofessional brat. It's more likely that she recognized, a few beats too late, that her bosses and all of the world could see her spiteful wrath in black and white. She took the cowardly way out, which was to be expected. It's a strange new world we find ourselves in as Donald Trump makes his way back to the White House. Expect the tantrums to continue apace and the further disintegration of the media, as embodied by Mirna Alsharif. |
