Independent Journalist Nick Shirley Leaves New York Times Reporter SPEECHLESS After She Tries to Defend California’s “Stop Nick Shirley Act” . . .

 . . . "Then She Allegedly Cuts the Interview Short"

The Gateway Pundit   

"Independent reporter Jonathan Choe, standing a few feet away, later identified her by name and said he was “shocked she was this clueless.'”

"Independent journalist Nick Shirley turned the tables on a New York Times reporter who repeatedly pushed the Democrat defense of California’s so-called “Stop Nick Shirley Act.”

"Independent journalist Nick Shirley, the 24-year-old YouTuber whose viral reporting on empty Somali-run “learing centers” in Minnesota and hospice schemes in California helped blow open a national fraud scandal, was interviewed by NYT reporter Laurel Rosenhall outside the State Capitol after a rally against Assembly Bill 2624.

" Rosenhall is The Times’ Sacramento-based California politics correspondent. She showed up with a notepad. Shirley showed up with a camera, a “Califraudia Republic” hoodie, and a simple question the paper of record could not answer: why is California writing a law that protects the people spending public money instead of the people exposing how that money disappears? 

"Shirley posted the clip Thursday with a caption that said it all:
“Here is the New York Times realizing they are advocating for a law that would effect journalism and fraud from being exposed.” 
"Rosenhall starts in defense mode. According to her, lawmakers maintain that the bill was already being developed before Shirley traveled to California. 
" Shirley immediately shot back: “Not true.” . . .   More text and videos here.

NY Times brand of yellow journalism certainly earns the Walter Duranty Award

The Duranty Prize is named after Walter Duranty, the New York Times Moscow corresponded in the 1920s and 1930s who whitewashed Joseph Stalin’s forced starvation of the Ukrainians (the Holodomor) and many other aspects of Soviet oppression. Duranty was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1932 for his efforts. It has never been revoked."
