Title: More "journalists" ash canned
Post by: charby on December 04, 2017, 10:00:56 PM

This happened in Iowa with folks announcing a basketball game.

Iowa has communities with meat packing facilities that pay crap for wages, so they recruit workers from other nations. Some folks hate it, but they let it happen when IBP (now Tyson) changed the packing industry in the 1970s.

I do like the way the Desmoines Register provided a helpful link to the video so that you can actually listen to what they said, not just take the paper's word for it.... ;/ ;/ ;/

"The mic is always hot"

The mike is always on, and there's no such thing as "off the record."
