Nevada Hack Ralston Hit By Own Flying Chair
From USUncut.com, we learn that Joe Ralston the self-styled journalist and Clinton hack who fabricated and worked to spread the since thoroughly debunked story of Sanders supporters throwing chairs at the crooked Nevada Democratic Convention, has been hit in the back of the head by one of those mythical chairs:
Jon Ralston, who has been called “The biggest fish in Nevada” by Politico, has been let go by PBS after the network cancelled his show “Ralston Live” on Tuesday.
Ralston became nationally reviled after the Nevada Democratic Convention, in which he famously propagated the oft-repeated lie that Bernie Sanders’ delegates threw chairs in a fit of rage after state party chair Roberta Lange disqualified a large number of delegates from participating and refused to hear their appeals.
The article includes damning tweets and substantiating links. Go read it it is too short to quote more of.
The article indicates that Ralston's next gig is unknown, but we may find him as a paid flack with the Clinton gang, or perhaps the serial fabricators at Breitbart saw him shine and have already made him an offer.
The evidence is piling up.
Happy Solstice.

As I said elsewhere
There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.
At least they discarded him properly
after use.
I would disagree
I call that littering. No license was revoked, no disbarment. He can go on his merry self-serving way. What's one job loss?
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
Say what?
What license is there for a reporter that could be revoked? Disbar him from what? He is not an attorney. He is a private citizen doing a job that requires no special credentials except a press pass provided by the news organization he works for. I understand your ire; I share it. But what, exactly, could be done to him?

Some countries require media workers to be licenced.

If I'm not mistaken, media licensing and revocation of same for "spreading false news" was one of Herr Drumpf's platform.
No wonder he's BFF with V. Putin, Kim Il-jong, and probably the last "European" dictator, Ol'yaksan'dr L'ukashen'ko (to give his name in the original Byel'arus (where the 's denote a degree of palatilisation).
Note: My spelling will not be found on the web. It's from a very old newsgroup (pre-1992) that I barely remember, rec.baltics. A Belarusian expert posted frequently on the site. Apparenty Lukashenko, even though a Belarusian, has fought tirelessly to replace the native Belarus language with Russian, and hence the names on Belarus websites, etc., have been replaced by their Russian equivalents.
It is well known that the Russification of non-Slavic nations in the Russian Federation is going apace, as it was during Tsar Nikolai II in the late 19th century: see http://www.lituanus.org/1996/96_3_03.htm for example or http://www.estonica.org/en/History/1850-1914_National_awakening/Russific....
A number of Central Russian Ugric and Altaic "pseudo-republics", whose languages are distantly related to Finnish and Estonian, are being forced to adopt the Cyrillic alphabet, whose phonemes do not correspond to the autochthonous languages.
Russian Karelia and Sami peoples as well, whose languages have close roots to Finnish, are also having their original epics, etc. originially written in the Latin script, to be reprinted in Cyrillic.
As "the alphabet defines the language", can it be argues that forcing an unfamiliar and uncomplementary script on a peoples' literature who already have their own recognizable script a form of "forced assimilation" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_assimilation ?
I've gone on too long.
Your thoughts are welcome, as always.
There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.
He will have a new job waiting
