Now everybody knows black people talk different with other black people. So when the guy asked Obama if he wanted his change, Obama replied "Naw, we straight". I don't remember if the reporters cleaned it up or not but I remember it being discussed on a page I used to follow, National Review's Corner, which was a running block where their folks would sort of comment on stuff. They definitely didn't want them to clean it up because you know.... you gotta emphasize the guy is black and just like the mag cover of the Oval Office Fist Bump.... decorum in the WH went downhill once the blacks got in there, right? There goes the neighborhood. Pretty soon there'll be cookouts on the WH Lawn. He'd have a way to go to match Andrew Jackson, who supposedly grazed animals on the WH lawn.

As did Woodrow Wilson as I recall. A bit of digging confirms he did and used the wool to raise money for the Red Crosd during WWI https://clintonwhitehouse5.archives.gov/WH/glimpse/presidents/html/ww28.html#:~:text=Twenty-Eighth President 1913-1921&text=Fun Fact%3A Sheep on the,Cross during World War I.

This just seems akin to a sports radio host saying Riley Greene isn't a good player because he hasn't heard of him. That department was all over Jan 6 and its aftermath, and their reporting was top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fine but it's also regular reporting, which isn't I was talking about even if that is what the Post calls the desk. I was explicitly describing a desk to do less immediately newsworthy stuff in the public interest that most papers wouldn't budget to to.
