New York Times’ Ridiculous Hit Piece on Marco Rubio Hilariously Ridiculed On Twitter
The New York Times showed that it could still journalism with the best of them, as they released a devastating hit piece on Marco Rubio that will probably end his presidential campaign – they found out he has driving tickets!! Clutch at pearls and behold the mendacity!!!
The masterful journalist who printed this drivel was Michael Barbaro, and he’s being soundly mocked for it on the Twitters:
I’m taking such schadenfreudistic delight in NYT’s disastrous own goal on Rubio story that simply reading @mikiebarb’s timeline is joyful.

In the piece he makes a big deal out of Rubio taking driving classes after the violations – people have since pointed out that the classes are voluntary in Florida in order to keep points of a driving record. More awesome journalisming!!!
According to the NYT, Rubio was "forced" to go to voluntary driver school. https://t.co/IRCus9cNg3

@mikiebarb That's some top-shelf journalism right there. Well done, sir. What else do you have in the pipeline? Big jaywalking expose?

@mikiebarb When you finish licking Hillary's boots clean, maybe you could get around to reporting actual news?

@mikiebarb Speeding tickets vs deleted emails, potential bribery, embassy security failures etc etc. Hard hitting journalism right there.

This is exactly the kind of crap we can expect from the mainstream media this election cycle and that’s why you need to support those independent voices in the news media, like the SoooperMexican!!!
