Reporter Gets Threats From Neo-Nazis

/

KUSA (Denver) Investigative Reporter Jeremy Jojola says that he is getting threats from Neo-Nazis after he recently did a story focusing on the hate group.

"You have people who are blatantly racist saying some pretty alarming things," Jojola said.

Jojola shared some of the hate they sent his way on Twitter.

Not everyone who shared their views about the stories was this angry. "I would say 90 to 95 percent of the response to our reporting has been extremely positive," Jojola calculates. "People have reached out and said, 'This is needed. This is the type of reporting we need right now.' But we also had a lot of people telling me, 'Be safe. Because of what you're doing, you're swimming in waters that are toxic, and they could be dangerous.'

The other 5 to 10 percent of the replies "are downright disgusting," he allows. "These are people who are clearly racist. Some of them are using anonymous accounts, but some of them aren't. Some of them aren't afraid to own their views. And I've gotten emails saying things like, 'I hope you get justice soon.' They're kind of vague, but pointed at the same time."

Jojola considers such commentators to be "broken people. I think they use their hate to eclipse their own personal failures and insecurities. They use hate to make themselves feel better, because I think, in the end, they really hate themselves."

Jojola says that his station is taking the right action against the threats. “They've taken a lot of the responses we've received seriously, and I feel confident in what they're doing."

Be safe people, with a President that is calling the media the “Enemy of the People” over and over again, this job is only getting tougher and more dangerous.

Who would have ever thought that the President of the United States would make Journalists jobs more dangerous in this country?

What the hell is wrong here?
