Aaron Calvin, Unemployed Racist

Racist journalist Aaron Calvin is 'no longer employed' by The Des Moines Register.

Carol Hunter EXECUTIVE Editor of The Des Moines Register, published a lengthy article on the fiasco. She uses up a lot of space on process. Example:

The timeline gets a bit complicated here: Register editors discussed at length whether to include information about the tweets and King’s remorse in our profile, but we were still editing the story when King talked to local TV stations. Busch Light announced its decision shortly afterward. We hadn’t yet published anything about his tweets when some people on social media began accusing the Register of doing King wrong and ruining a potential opportunity to continue raising millions of dollars to help sick children.

She goes on like this for several paragraphs. Good lord, this is soooooo typical. Journalists love process, in their minds so important to the art of journalizming*.

They assume we love process too, as if a story about a bunch of journalists sitting around a conference table is interesting.  It's almost as if Hunter doesn't understand what readers like.

Carol Hunter has committed journalism's cardinal sin, she and the Des Moines Register have become part of the story.

Anyway we emailed a question to Hunter, we'll see if she responds.

*Thanks Ben Shapiro.

Did Des Moines Register Exec Editor Carol Hunter Snort Coke in a Disco Bathroom Stall in the 1970s?

So Carson King accidently goes and raises a million bucks for charity with a funny sign that goes viral and is undone by Aaron Calvin of the Des Moines Register (bastards) who dug up the man's offensives tweets. From high school. Like eight years ago.

Carol Hunter is the executive editor of the Des Moines Register. Carol Hunter isn't just the editor. She's the EXECUTIVE editor. Oh my! What exactly does she think constitutes news? Where are those alleged layers of editors and fact checkers who are supposed to weed out the crap and give us with important information.

Carol Hunter studied journalism. When did a private citizen's past actions become news worthy?

Let's speculate about what in Carol Hunter's past would be news worthy.

[Pointlessly?-Ed]

Oh yes, and maliciously too.

[Your use of 'maliciously exposes you. Legally speaking.-Ed]

Bring it, bitches. 

Carol Hunter is, shall we say, a woman of a certain age, who attended the University of Kansas in the 1970's. Hey, you know how the kids liked to swing back then.

[You're note going to slut-shame are you?-Ed]

Wouldn't dream of it. We're not Carol Hunter.

Now, if we learned that Des Moines Register Executive Editor Carol Hunter, say...snorted coke in a disco bathroom stall in the 1970's, would that be news? We're not saying Carol Hunter snorted coke in a disco bathroom stall in the 1970's. We're just wondering if it would be news worthy if Carol Hunter had snorted coke in a disco bathroom stall in the 1970's.

If Carol Hunter snorted coke in a disco bathroom stall in the 1970s, this blog does not think that would be news worthy. That's the decision we've made as William Stroock dot blospot dot com's executive editor.

So then the people, justifiably outraged, dug through Brooklynite wannabe Aaron Calvin's past tweets and found...plenty of offensive shit.

Just look at the thing. We already loathe him. We hate his face. Look at that thin, soy-vegi visage. We doubt he could change a tire. We doubt he could mount a woman.

This blog does not know what secrets Carol Hunter keeps. Maybe she was into Hippie-crap in the 1970s. Maybe she cheated on her taxes. Maybe she once called someone a poopy head on the playground. Unlike Carol Hunter, we don't think that's news.  And she's not even a private citizen.
