“Journalism”

See, when I use the quotes, it’s for a reason. Not sure why the WaPo wanted to use quotes around “hero”.

    A Hero of the Progressive Movement is not printed using square quotes.

    A ‘hero’ to nonprogressives is open to question, derision, irony, ridicule, and at least 2 minutes of hate.

    Right. I was taught that the purpose of quotes is to set apart the actual words that an actual person actually said. In other words, quotation marks are for quotes.

    Using quotes to indicate “I’m saying this but I don’t really mean it” is juvenile, at best.

    Even if they were trying to sneak a smirk in with the quotes, that’s all they did. Other wise it’s a straight news report on a concealed carrier saving the day.

    In the Washington Post.

    Baby steps…

    we all know why they do it. It doesn’t fit the narrative, so they need to slant it in any way possible. the “quotes” is a low impact way to sneer at the dufus who saved a woman’s life with a horrible taboo object that some people classify as a firearm.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
