Here She Goes Again
The No. 4 person on FTVLive's list of the Worst People in TV News in 2017, is trying hard to get back on the list for 2018.
KSAZ (Phoenix) Anchor Kari Lake is catching alot of flack for a tweet that she sent out.
As you may or may not know, teachers in Arizona are expected to go on strike Today in an effort to get lawmakers to issue them a raise.
Many teachers and those supporting the teachers have taken to wearing red and the hashtag #RedforEd has become big on social media.
One small group of Arizona residents and two lawmakers thought of an idea. Maybe if Arizona would legalize pot, the money collected by the state, could be used to give teachers a raise. Someone put out a T-shirt that featured a pot leaf and read #GreenforEd.
Journalistically challenged Kari Lake figured that one T-shirt proved her point as to why the teachers were walking out.
So, due to the fact of one T-shirt, the Fox O&O Anchor was able to figure out that this whole teacher walkout was not really about better pay, it was all about just making pot legal.
Needless to say, not everyone agreed with factually challenged news reader.
A number of teachers that have had their wages frozen for 5 years also tweeted Lake and her theory that teachers don't want more money, they really just want legal pot.
Lake basically called the teachers liars with her hashtag #IHateTheDishonesty.
After the backlash, Lake end up deleting her tweet.
But, she also posted this gem about how cheap wine is going to get a lot more expensive.
So, the same woman that is scared about pot becoming legal, is telling people to panic because wine might cost more.
Seriously?
