Oh, Look-- Raw Story Gets It Wrong ... Again

Oath Keepers call for Waffle House boycott [More]
No it didn't. I included an unequivocal statement with a link for a purpose. You'd think if someone was going to presume to write about a subject with anything approaching understanding what he's reading, he'd, at a minimum, you know, click on it...

Case in point:
MILM is an acronym for “mother I’d like to meet,” which is apparently a slightly less sexualized “MILF” reference to the anti-gun group Moms Demand Action — which Codrea frequently targets with complaints.
No it's not.

And then there's this:
Codrea dismissed the claim as after-the-fact damage control.
Did I? I thought I made a point of specifically calling it "a diversion to mask discrimination against all gun owners."

This Travis Gettys character sure is consistently wrong. I can't tell if he's stupid, lazy, or just a liar. Or all three. Kind of like the comment posters there. In any case, it looks like I may be the recipient of a developing Raw Story cyber-stalker's unrequited Prozi man crush...

Ah well, at least he spells the name right.

UPDATE: Looks like Ken Meyer of Mediaite is also subject matter research-challenged.

ETA: I presume the "select all the waffle pictures" Captcha wasn't serendipity....

Travis Gettys is just one of literally hundreds of writers for the left who cut their teeth in more leftist news outlets such as Alternet, part of the leftist farm club system for writers. Looks like this story could land him a cushy gig at Atlantic or Salon. That's the way those people operate.

As I read somewhere else, it's called Raw Story for a reason. Because it's not Well Done.
