When the Des Moines Register asked how they had found the information on Carson, they said it was during a routine background check on him laughable). But they didn’t do a background check of an employees past social media posts!
The reporter got what he deserved, but the Des Moines Register is also complicit.

That's the best part

The idiots in charge said that once they found the information they felt obligated to publish it so readers would know who they were associating with.

Yet they don't feel the same compelling interest to dig into their own employees backgrounds

and this isn't surprising because it was just a few weeks ago that there were people in the press complaining about they're journalists being silenced using the same tactic the journalists were using against regular people

Journalism is dead if it was ever alive
