Cancel the DM Register

What kind of publication would try to ruin a national story of a young man who has raised over a million dollars for sick children by finding a “racist” tweet from when he was in high school?

Assuming it is true it was them who searched for the 8 year old tweet they should face harsh consequences.

Context please?

Edit: thanks - you have to be a real piece to go to extreme lengths to find dirt on some random college kid trying to do some good. He could easily have pocketed the money he made on that sign

 

[andy1992]

I agree. Cancel immediate and whomis the reporter

Every one is out to ruin each other. I'm sure the reporter has never had a regrettable moment as a kid either. Such bullshit. Eff the register.

This is what I hate about these news stories. Someone always wants to tear down something that has a positive impact.

I also hate it because when this happens it’s always reported that so and so said something bad and they never write or say what was said/tweeted/facebooked.

What did he even tweet?

 

[Kurt Warner]

The media is out of control with their left wing agenda bullcrap. Wanting to stir up s*** with their thoughts of every white person is a anti-gay racist piece of crap. They're truly a sick bunch

Oh, FFS, this doesn't need to be political.

If you want to join the Trumpturd vs libturd pissing match, go to OT board.

 

[TreyVega]

I support the ISU fan who, as a young teen, made a mistake to post regretable remarks that should not dictate his ability to enact good as an adult.

 

[Iafootballfan]

Has anyone heard of who was responsible for finding the tweet?

 

[Franisdaman]

The Register had to go back to 2011? Seriously? He was 16 then, correct?

When you daily newspaper shrinks to 8 pages and 3 are filler desperate measures are taken to increase visibility. There you go. No more. No less

 

[denmar81]

Who was the reporter? Time to dig up some dirt on him.

 

[Kurt Warner]

People need to call the register and voice their displeasure, then cancel them

 

[iahawkeyes17]

He was 16 and it was 8 years ago. Really who really cares what he said back then? I hate it how now anytime someone does something big/good and is in their 20s someone has to dig up social media crap from their High School years and make it a "news story". What HS aged kid didn't say dumb crap that they'd regret and not say now. Thank goodness I didn't have social media when I was a teenager.

If anyone hasn't watch Dave Chapelle's new stand up on Netflix he touches base on this exact same subject matter most notable Kevin Hart & Oscars fiasco and his take on it is damn hilarious.

Exactly. Both sides of that world are a bunch of turds.

AB is now cutting ties with Carson King.

Sad how this was a feel good story, now turned into a negative by the media once again. Kid made a mistake when he was 16. No one is perfect, he’s a cyclone fan to boot!

 

[Iafootballfan]

It’s about to get worse, now the sponsors are leaving...

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

In your mind, I'm sure.

Must be a fun reality.

Unfrigginbelievable....he was 16 and did something stupid. Obviously realized it. I hope the left wing reporter who was hell bent on exposing this is happy.

 

[Slappy Pappy]

Asshat move. He wasn't running for office, he was donating to charity!!

Funny a company that makes millions off of it's product that many underage people consume and do dumb things as King did when he was 16 is so quick to cut ties with him. Weak.

I think if anything AB will receive some backlash from this.

The class act of HR has arrived.

[Hawkfan_08]

Oh man I feel bad for him. He apologized and had clearly learned from what he said.

*Also, if the sponsors that are dropping him refuse to hold up their end of the deal in matching the donation to kids, they need to be held accountable. The Register should also match money.*

"journalism" meets outrage culture. What a perfectly illustrative intersection of modern day culture. Our society is f***ed

 

[MeetTheFerentz]

People still subscribe to the DMR?

Lol, fake outrage? Wtf are you talking about? I'm pissed as hell tough guy

This. Time for pot to meet kettle...in a big way.

 

[speed4power]

Our media in this country just sucks.

 

[percyland]

You are creepy as hell if you see something good happening in the news and your instinct is to go searching around someone’s Twitter when they were a child.

 

[Case I H]

The DM Register is the most "popular" newspaper in the state. Time to make something else, like the Oskaloosa Herald the most popular.

 

[Kurt Warner]

This is truly sad. This guy is going to be villainized now. Such an awesome story totally turned rotten because of the media

 

[WDMHawk72]

Let's get the reporters Twitter account and dissect their past posts posts.
