Blake Masters called “reporter” Dillon Reed Rose about a bad hit piece he not only wrote about Blake, but it also appears that he also “deliberately” sent a fact-checking email to an address he knew the campaign manager would not see in time before posting it 90 minutes later.
Classy, right?
Drag them, Blake.
HEY @DillonReedRose you are a hack This piece wildly misrepresents my views, which was your goal. Time for a thread on journalistic ethics and how reporters shamelessly attack anyone to the right of the AOC. https://t.co/0712xElFDZ

Take the corn.
Let me be clear on this: you did not ask for a comment. Not exactly. You wrote to the wrong email address for my campaign manager despite knowing their correct email address (so we wouldn’t see it in time), and then posted your hit piece 90 minutes later. You weasel. pic.twitter.com/uOPaAvf3Q0

weasel
Now, there is a word we don’t hear enough these days.
If I had done this ethically – if I had written to our real email address more than an hour before posting – I would have said (and let’s see if you update your story and quote me):
I am in favor of life. And of course I don’t think contraceptives should be outlawed.

In Griswold, wholesale judges * invented a constitutional right * to achieve a political outcome. I am against judges who make law. It is the duty of the legislature to create laws, not courts. This is the separation of powers 101.

What he said.
To continue.
Either this “reporter” does not understand how our legal system works (and therefore cannot separate the outcome of a case from the legal motivation behind a decision) or he is a fake news reporter with an ax to grind. My money is on both of them, actually!

Embrace the power of AND.
But hey, the bright side is: the media has realized that unlimited abortion on demand is a political loser for Democrats. So they started doing what they do best: throw ethics out the window, baselessly slander Republicans, and call it “fact-checking.”
– Blake Masters (@bgmasters) May 7, 2022
Fact checkers have become absolutely useless. They could also be called “Covering for Democrat Talking Points-Checkers”.
Yes, it’s a bit clumsy.
They’ve done it to President Trump, they’ve done it to Judge Kavanaugh, they’re going to do it to random pastry chefs, they’ve done it to Tucker last week, they’re doing it to me as a candidate, and you’re next. That’s why nobody trusts the media anymore.

Nobody has trusted the media for a long time.
We need Republicans who don’t run in fear when the corrupt media establishment tries to intimidate them. That’s why I’m running for the United States Senate, because the time to bow to these people is over. We will fight and win. https://t.co/EeSpAgw2nW

And it’s starting to seem more and more like the “new right” is ready to react.
November will be fun.
