    I don’t know if applies to preps, but a lot of papers as a matter of policy run background checks on feature subjects so as not to end up with egg on their face.

    Could become more popular than "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?" on Super Bowl Media Day.

    You constantly crusade against ad hominem attacks or attacks on people's personal lives or families unless you like the poster doing those things. Then you're just fine with it.

    Even aside from the two tweets, there has been a successful movement to NOT label white people terrorists in the post 9/11 world. Every single mass shooting since 9/11 (except San Bernadino; american born Muslim, Orlando?) has been by a white person right? Then the bombings here. Terrorists right?

    Raises hand.

    Interviewed Hernandez for one such piece. Granted it was TV.

    Still. Yikes.

    The terrorist says he's not a terrorist and has good reasons for this. It's a shame he blew himself up or maybe we might have seen things his way.
