Good for the Iowans that were angered by a dumbass "journalist" that bashed a man who raised over $1M for a Children's Hospital over tweets from 7 years ago.

Reporter who wrote about Iowa State fan’s racist tweets fired for his own racist tweets
quote:
The Register began investigating comments made by Calvin on Twitter after his story about Iowa security guard Carson King sparked outrage. The story profiled King, who gained national fame after he held a sign seeking beer money during an ESPN show and then promised to donate the more than $1 million that poured in to a children’s hospital.
quote:
In the story, Calvin noted King had posted two racist tweets more than seven years ago, when he was a teenager. People angered by the story found old tweets from Calvin that made offensive comments about race, gay marriage and other topics.

Calvin couldn’t be reached for comment. His Twitter account is no longer open to the public.

When keeping it real goes wrong.

Karma, bitch. What a fricking idiot. What people don't get about this PC is culture is, it always eats its own.

My sister lives in Ames, where Iowa State is located just north of Des Moines.
She said that reporter is pretty much in hiding because most of the state wants to beat the shite out of him.

This is the feel good story the world needed today!

Sounds like the paper needs to cut a massive check to the children’s hospital for fricking up the fundraiser.

I'm sure someone can scare up some tar.

I don't like the fact that he wasn't fired for what he tried to do to that poor guy.

The editor is the only one that should've been axed.
This kid should've been taught a lesson about how journalists should act, but instead was allowed to do what he wanted.

And yet they still refuse to issue an apology to Carson King. A whole lot of "out of touch" in that article which was penned by the very woman who allowed all of this mess to happen to begin with.

Pitchforks shouldn’t be a problem, nor should feathers.
As far as torches go, I think the guy already flames enough on his own.

With the paper basically saying, what he did was cool, but not if he had anything damning in his history.

Never underestimate the arrogance of today's "journalists".
They're nothing more than left wing political activists.

It's almost like most of us are a little bit bigoted and that's OK, even healthy. Weird.

I just don't give a single frick what you did in your past, especially a harmless tweet, if you donate $1M+ to a children's hospital. I will pat you on the back.
Carson probably doesn't have much more than a pot to piss in as a security guard and very easily could just keep the money but instead decided to donate it, which then increased the donations by 10x, and some idiot reporter wants to dig up old arse shite to bash the man. frick that reporter, I hope he never gets another job and is homeless.
