Imagine being made inadequate by a car.

From 2017, a simpler time:

"The top 3 best selling vehicles in America are pick-ups. Question to reporters: do you personally know someone that owns one?" asked conservative blogger John Ekdahl late Tuesday evening.

However, instead of a simple "Yes" or "No" answer, many in media took Ekdahl's tweet to be something of a personal, if not an outright vicious, insult.

"[P]lenty of heartlanders are opioid addicts. Does that mean to report on real Amerikkka you need an oxy habit?" Ars Technica automotive editor Jonathan Gitlin said in a since-deleted tweet.

New York Daily News guest columnist Brandon Friedman added elsewhere, "Can we please move off the idea that truck-owning, country music-listening, gun enthusiasts are the 'real' Americans."

The outcry is really rather remarkable. With a single question about consumer preferences, Ekdahl created something of a Rorschach test for media, and many didn't like what they saw.

I remember that. It was amazing how a simple question caused them to fly into such a rage. It really does show their elitism that asking if they know anyone who owns the most commonly driven type of vehicle, chosen because its useful for a working class person, is met with rank disgust.

Stonetoss hitting the mark there. Also Jonathan Gitlin, Brandon Friedman, and John Schwartz listed in that article are all Jews. So it's no surprise they are out of touch with the people of America.

I mean...I would argue the bigger problem is that they are cosmopolitan globalist rather than Jews. After all, the whole point of those types is they want to be able to go to any big city in any nation and not be able to tell what country they are in, regardless of what kind of toll that takes on the local population.

journo trash are not human. their basic inability to answer a simple question is proof enough.
