THIS IS THE WAY. Jeremy Redfern posted a thread on Twitter showing the emails from local media dressing up their activism as journalism and his email replies owning their hides. It’s glorious.
It stars with a snotty and loaded question from Brianna Ellis at the assignment desk.
Hearing that FL DOH has released the proposed rule that would ban access to gender affirming care for people under the age of 18. Can you confirm? Do you have a press release about this?
Every word of that email is important to the rest of the story here. Remember the attitude and watch the station try to change their story to a mere document request as the thread goes on.
There are four images per tweet and they are large, so you’ll have to click through to see them I’m afraid. But SOOOO worth it.

The document that was inside of a document was available online the entire time.
Thanks for playing, @news6wkmg.

They really try to retreat into “oh WE aren’t expressive a view we’re just asking for a document.
No, like I said, remember the first email. “Can you confirm?” Ellis wrote it with the exact Democrat spin, as the media ALWAYS does (like “Don’t Say Gay”) and then asked for the press secretary to confirm that talking point.
It’s the scam they pull every day on every issue. Redfern took them and everyone else to school about it.
Perfect.
