LOL Slate's incompetent SCOTUS reporter, @mjs_DC, is apparently upset with me and insists I am a grifter.

Let's go through some of his claims and why he is actually upset....

@mjs_DC 1) I don't think anyone who follows me thinks I mostly dunk on celebrities. Fairly confident most would agree I provide valuable information and am pretty good at holding media accountable with facts.

@mjs_DC 2) I've been tweeting a lot about Iran because I actually know the topic and have something to add to the conversation. A position MJS is unfamiliar with.

@mjs_DC 3) The idea that I "exclusively mock Trump's actual critics" is just nonsense that anyone who looks at my tweets for more than 5 minutes could debunk. I get yelled at Trump fans daily specifically because it isn't true.

@mjs_DC 4) My "grift" consists of a Patreon for a weekly report on media bias. Most of the money from that report, which is not a significant amount, has gone to charity.

Meanwhile, MJS and his colleagues draw a substantial salary while providing a lot less value to their readers.

@mjs_DC 5) The real reason MJS is upset and why he has had me blocked for some time is that I have repeatedly called him out for basic errors and dishonesty.

@mjs_DC I'm sorry that someone who tweets as a hobby is better at your job than your are...

Maybe you should actually become a competent reporter and gain some credibility with readers so that people wouldn't look to me to correct you and your colleagues.

@mjs_DC One last thing: If I wanted to "harvest RTs", I would become a partisan hack who dishonestly spins things in a way that would only appeal to one side (Basically what MJS does). I would have a lot more followers and get more RTs.
