The Morning Rant

"And another thing about those Parkland kids: one MSM infobabe tweeted that she was given a press kit from one of them when she contacted her for an interview. A press kit!? How would it occur to a bunch of teenagers to make press kits available to the media? And how much did it cost, and how was it financed? These are questions the infobabe didn't think worthwhile to ask. There is quite a lot about these protests that suggest a widespread astroturfing operation, but the MSM appears to be all but completely incurious about that possibility. Although I'll admit it doesn't take much to get students to cut school, especially if you tell them it's for a noble cause. But still, you'd think that there'd be least one reporter skeptical enough to ask the question."
