So last night Trump talked about cayotes smuggling illegal Mexicans across the border. It seems that many of the Blue Cheka* thought Trump meant actual cayotes.
Tonight on blue checkmark twitter, they don’t know what coyotes are.

We'll quote Obama press flak and failed novelist Ben Rhodes, who still can't even**, 'The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.'
And so we see....
Long time reader(s) will recall our father was a producer at NBC Nightly News for 30 + years. The man read The Times, the WaPo, and the Journal everyday. That was a huge part of his job. Journalists were expected to know something about everything and everything about something. NBC had a defense guy, a health and medicine guy, a trade guy, and so on.
And these guys learned journalism the hard way. Back in the day, NBC would recruit reporters from local stations across the country and assign them to WNBC in New York City. If you could cover NYC, you could cover anything.
Former Nightly News Anchor Tom Brokaw*** was from South Dakota. Younger reader(s), in the 80's and 90's Brokaw was The Man, the biggest name and face in network news. He was the top dog, the big man, the head cheese, the head honcho, numero uno, el jeffee grandee...Brokaw had the right stuff.**** And he paid his dues.
Those 'reporters' up there, those blue checkmark morons who think politics started in 2008 with Barry, they never covered a HS football game because an editor told their scrump asses to go show they had some reporting chops.
Rhodes, who is wrong about almost everything, was certainly right about these people.
Here's a screen cap of the NBC Nightly News broadcast ca 1990. Our dad is the back on the left:
*With respects to M Steyn
**If this clip of Ben Rhodes existential election night pain doesn't fill you with joy then you're an inhuman monster
***So big spellcheck recognizes his name
**** Do we really need to explain the reference?
