Stingray: Reuters employee writes "Zionist pig" death threat

The mainstream media cultivates the impression that it is comprised of “professional journalists” who don’t let their personal biases get in the way of objectively reporting the news. However, a writer from Reuters has been suspended for sending a death threat to blogger Charles Johnson, owner of Little Green Footballs. From ynetnews.com:

Reuters employee has been suspended after sending a death threat to an American blogger.

The message, sent from a Reuters internet account, read: “I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut.”

It was sent to Charles Johnson, owner of the Little Green Footballs (LGF) weblog, a popular site which often backs Israel and highlights jihadist terrorist activities.

In the threat, the Reuters staff member, who has not been named, left his email address as “Zionistpig” at hotmail.com.

Reporting the message to his readers, Johnson wrote on his website: “This particular death threat is a bit different from the run of the mill hate mail we get around here, because an IPA lookup on the sender reveals that he/she/it was using an account at none other than Reuters News.”

Speaking to Ynetnews, Johnson said: “I was surprised to receive a threat from a Reuters IP, but only because it was so careless of this person to use a traceable work account to do it.”

He added: “I think it’s more than fair to say that Reuters has a big problem.”

The entire American mainstream media has a big problem. I’ve received hate mail from “journalists” before, including several from Mike Hudson, editor-in-chief of the Niagara Falls Reporter, whose idea of addressing some serious errors and omissions in his newspaper by telling me to do thing to my mother.

Tolerant. Progressive. That’s how the American mainstream media wants to be seen. However, their actions speak louder than their words and many are little more than vulgar little sycophants of the far left wing of the Democratic party.
