@0x00string @Loucovey @huntingdon During the weird glorious year that was 2008, when I was granted press credentials by The Huffington Post as part of a citizen journalism program, I was at the Democratic National Convention when Chuck Schumer ducked a question by a mainstream journalist, then called on me. I stood up and said, "Scott Bellows, The Huffington Post. That last question was a good one and you dodged it. Would you actually answer it, please?"

Ever see Chuck Schumer look down over his reading glasses and glower at someone? Yeah, that. The regular journalists looked shocked, happy, and jealous because I didn't need him to respond to me ever again, whereas they couldn't get away with it without consequences.

Still proud of this and want it in my obituary.

@mwyman @0x00string @Loucovey @huntingdon Great question. He sighed and repeated his prior answer almost verbatim.

@msbellows there's my excuse next time a family member asks why I'm trans, couldn't live up to the name so I needed some reason to change it 😂

@msbellows @0x00string @Loucovey @huntingdon and this right here is why I've given up on mainstream news. They're supposed to be the investigative arm of the people and instead they're just a marketing channel.

Props to you for making a point. I appreciate you may have had more freedom to do that, but you made the effort. Thanks.

@allpoints @msbellows @0x00string @huntingdon there are many still doing the work. They just don’t cover the WH. Sky News may be the exception.
