From the lede I thought the Black editor was urging the KKK to ride again.

The headline is stunningly incompetent.
Are the editors on heroin?

Like the prior commentors, agree that the word “urging” should be replaced by “which urged”.

The most subtle, nuanced comment I can make is that I really want to smash that bastard Sutton’s face with a two-by-four and then put the boot in so he spends about four months in the hospital.

With votes, of course.

You’re not the only one.

And to think they only had to change “urging” to “that urged” to disambiguate it. Saving a couple of letters result in a ridiculously misleading lede.

I wonder what happens now. Does the paper close, does it appoint a new editor, or does it just go back to publishing pro-KKK editorials which trump tweets in support?

“racially insensitive editorials”

Uh…so now the KKK lynching people is merely insensitive? How about “racist & terroristic editorials?” KKK are terrorists who murder people, like ISIS. Nobody sugarcoats ISIS, calling them “culturally insensitive” stop doing it for this white piece of shit.

Umm…Is it me or does the headline totally fail to reflect what this article is about?

WTF is going on here?

Maybe she can get a job at TPM correcting all the dangling participles used in headlines here.

So much good could have come out of this.

That’s a pretty thought.

The fun term for this is “squinting modifier.” It’s unclear (except from context) which it applies to, the editor or the paper.

More poor (or total lack of) editing on TPM.

I know times are tough, but come on TPM. PLEASE don’t turn into HuffPost.

The number of insightful, rational, JOURNALISTIC news sites is declining rapidly.

HuffPost is gone, drowned in a sea of TMZ-lite and “SJW” ad hominem attack articles sandwiched between “How to know if your secret lover is as good as your sorority friend’s secret lovers?” articles.

DailyKos is rapidly sliding into the same abyss as HuffPost, overwhelmed by Russian Trolls and their clueless sycophants while allowing head-scratching Diaries and at the same time letting mob-rule determine who is banned and who is not.

Now we see the Journalistic integrity of TPM being challenged by the economics of the situation. They MUST get their viewership up as Prime memberships don’t seem to be saving it, but the more knee-jerk and salacious they become, the more people looking for actual JOURNALISM will stay away.

I wish I had a solution, but I don’t.
