We don't despise the msm enough.
Hopefully her family sues them out of business.
There is no word in any language that a black person can say that I can’t.
She did not need to apologize at all.
Valerie did nothing wrong! She should not have apologized.
Her family should sue him and his family if need be for defamation. Anyone that put this in a headline upon her death should be sued as well. This is disgusting.
Ironically, he is the one who openly says he was only offended because she was a white woman. He was perfectly fine when he thought she was black.
They ruined her life over that? OMG! An Emmy Award winning reporter destroyed over nothing!
Every day, I wake up thinking there's nothing that can surprise me. I wake up thinking I've heard the worst, and there's nothing that can top yesterday. And then, yet again, I get proven wrong.
