I had an opportunity to be on KVOI with Matt Neely and Brush Ash.  It went a little something like this.

This used to be the most disgusting Tweet in my files.

直击MWC：“5G+折叠屏”燃爆 中兴通讯站到“C位”-国际在线:2021-2-26 · 当地时间2月25日，世界移动通信大会（MWC）在西班牙巴塞罗那开幕。当日早间，记者抵达展馆，直击主要手机厂商新品发布会伍及5G部署情况。华为、中兴、三星等手机厂商在会上展示了最新款的5G及折叠屏手机，此外，记者注意到，MWC期间

No longer.  Reporters on Twitter have reached a new level of cruelty.  Check out this modern version of the "Elephant falls on hunter" story.   

This is a "reaps what he sows" story that glorifies the death of a 37 year old Navy Veteran.  That's the only reason Dan Nowicki Tweeted it.  The only national news value is to revel in the irony that a guy who famously refused to wear a mask died of COVID 19. 

The cruelty is compounded by Craig Harris clicking "Like". 

Unbelievable.  

I'm sure that you've heard the term "flyover country".  That's the derogatory term that elites use to describe the part of the country that they are forced to fly over while jetting from LA or San Francisco to New York Chicago or Boston.  Expressing disdain for the most of the country is a form of virtue signalling.  Sure, you might have to cover events in, say, Albuquerque or Tulsa, but you don't like it there.  You are "in" but not "of".

This embarrassment/animosity applies equally to reporters who actually live in flyover country.  Rather than admit that they are part of the community, they cover it like a foreign correspondent reporting on a local backwater.  Here' s great example from the Star's Tim Steller. 

I'm from Tucson, and my parents still live there.  I don't consider meth seizures to be a defining feature of Tucson*.    Facebook isn't the only thing that's driving newspapers into bankruptcy--condescending, virtue signaling columnists drive away readers.

When I started writing Espresso Pundit in 2004, Lee Enterprises' stock was trading at $47.00 per share.  Today it is trading at 86 cents. 

*The three defining features of Tucson are Mountain Views, Monsoon Storms and untimed traffic lights.
