MR. MATTINGLY TEACHES LOCAL PRESS JOURNALISM 101

Posted by Tim

Yes! Finally someone gets it. But of course it's not someone from our local press, which has simply gone sicko for any crumbs the Snap thugs will trow at them. And by the way, who the hell cares about the United Nations, distributors of abortion and birth control. Good for you Mr. Mattingly.
