Hoo boy, the “reporters” over at NBC Information are having a traditional one.
This time round, the so-called journalist in query is one Mirna Alsharif; earlier than we dig in, here is her bio:
I’m a reporter who covers home and worldwide information, together with battle, crime and large-scale pure disasters to the most recent movie star scandal. I am additionally captivated with reporting on race and faith, primarily the marginalization of minority communities within the U.S.
So, there’s that.
Anyway, Alsharif half-heartedly tried to cowl the brewing FEMA scandal, a narrative that The Each day Wire broke on Friday. As RedState’s Ward Clark reported of the scandal,
Evidently a FEMA supervisor in control of the restoration staff in Lake Placid, Florida, ordered them as a “greatest observe” to skip homes with Trump indicators, per a Each day Wire unique:
A federal catastrophe reduction official ordered staff to bypass the properties of Donald Trump’s supporters as they surveyed injury brought on by Hurricane Milton in Florida, in accordance with inner correspondence obtained by The Each day Wire and confirmed by a number of federal staff.
A FEMA supervisor informed staff in a message to “keep away from properties promoting Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to determine residents who might qualify for federal assist, inner messages seen by The Each day Wire reveal. The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message each verbally and in a bunch chat utilized by the reduction crew, a number of authorities staff informed The Each day Wire.
This story is an enormous deal to everybody however the Democrat shills employed by the company media. NBC Information’ Alsharif knew it was her job to downplay the seriousness of the story, an endeavor she took on with satisfaction. She omitted key particulars, like the worker’s title, and did not acknowledge the unique reporting carried out by Each day Wire.
This story by @mirna_alsharif (pronouns in bio) for @NBCNews is painfully lazy and unhealthy
Notes {that a} FEMA worker was fired, however then acts prefer it’s a whole thriller what really occurred. No thought who did it, what they did. Solely mainstream outlet to not hyperlink the precise story. pic.twitter.com/v40NJD3FdP

That is when Alsharif shook off her questionable mantle of “journalist” and assumed the function of petulant playground bully.
Her response to the criticism that her report was “lazy” and “unhealthy”? To proudly flaunt the truth that she did not abide by journalistic requirements by way of her failure to hyperlink again to Each day Wire’s unique story.
Actual mature stuff there.
It will get worse. When different X/Twitter customers referred to as out Alsharif’s poor reporting, she doubled down on the nastiness.
There are apparently no grownups left in community newsrooms.
She simply could not let it go.
Then there’s this:

We would wish to assume that Alsharif took a while for some mature self-reflection and realized she got here off like an embarrassingly unprofessional brat. It is extra probably that she acknowledged, a couple of beats too late, that her bosses and the entire world might see her spiteful wrath in black and white. She took the cowardly means out, which was to be anticipated.
It is a unusual new world we discover ourselves in as Donald Trump makes his means again to the White Home. Anticipate the tantrums to proceed apace and the additional disintegration of the media, as embodied by Mirna Alsharif.
