    Upstate Republican Yells At Reporter For Terrible Crime of "Reporting"

    Do you want to listen to six minutes worth of proof that journalism sucks? Here is the executive director of a Republican PAC yelling at some poor, polite reporter in Albany.

    Boy, you're rethinking that major now, right, kids? All Albany Times-Union reporter Irene Jay Liu did was "report" some nonsense about how the National Republican Trust PAC aired an ad full of falsehoods and the local NBC affiliate stopped airing it because of the lies, and some jerk (PAC executive director Scott Wheeler) yelled at her for ten minutes.

    The ad was against Scott Murphy, the Democrat running to replace new senator Kirsten Gillenbrand, the Democrat from a conservative district upstate somewhere. Hilariously, the Republicans are fucking up this totally easy pickup.
