Accused bomb-threatener Juan Thompson

Check out my NYT piece on the right-wing media’s tendentious takes on accused bomb-threatener Juan Thompson. Here’s the lede:

Fate seems to have dropped a giant gift on the doorsteps of right-wing pundits and Twitter activists. Last Friday, the F.B.I. announced the arrest of a suspect in a series of bomb threats aimed at Jewish Community Centers and other Jewish organizations across the country, and he wasn’t some Trump-loving white supremacist with a history of violence and a racist manifesto in tow. No, he was a man of the left, a reporter fired from the left-leaning website The Intercept for fabricating quotes and sources.

Great work, David! May you get many more pieces published by the biggest (credible – have to qualify this, some places you don’t want to be published because they’re horrible..like Breitbart and such) news sources and this one be just the beginning!

I’m reading the NYT article a little late, due to Busy Life but want to say — well done, and congrats on the piece, Mr. David.
