To Democrats, "journalist" means: one who mindlessly and loyally endorses DNC talking points.

@mtaibbi's response to some random member of Congress who called him a "so-called journalist":

"Oh, so because you spent years as Rolling Stone's star investigative reporter, won the most prestigious journalism awards, and wrote 10 books on politics, now you're a journalist?

Sir, when's the last time you published a CIA or DNC press release?"

Sick and deranged rhetoric from this Dem Congresswoman against 2 journalists who broke major stories on the corruption of her US Security State and Big Tech friends.

20% of this rhetoric coming from GOP against a journalist is declared a national crisis:

The ironic part of @StaceyPlaskett's violent, dangerous assault on 2 journalists - snidely demeaning them as "so-called journalists" and "direct threats" to incite violence against them - is she's just a "so-called Congresswoman."

She can't even vote and isn't a House member.

Dems are really dredging up the bottom of the barrel to attack Taibbi and the #TwitterFiles. Remember when maligning journalists was a free press assault?

Remember DWS? She was forced to quit as DNC Chief because WikiLeaks proved she cheated for Hillary

Also: what does @DWStweets think she's proving? Yes, breaking huge stories often advances a journalist's career. Bob Woodward became the world's richest journalist from Watergate; does that impugn his reporting?

CNN/NBC charlatans got rich off vapid #Resistance tweets and books.

Democrats are smart when they keep DWS out of sight and mind as they've been doing for years, ever since Wikileaks exposed her corruption as the DNC Chair, cheating for Hillary (a major reason Biden keeps Assange rotting in prison). She's viscerally repulsive and corrupt.
