Reuters Correction: Hey Sorry We Previously Claimed that an Asian American Having One of the Most Common English First Names and Most Common Chinese Last Name Was Named after Robert E. Lee

Your Cognitive Elite at work, doin' the best they can with their limited mental faculties.

CLARIFICATION: Announcer with same name as Confederate General Lee pulled from broadcast; not named after Lee https://t.co/ZY7xOJIjFl https://t.co/PmgCcDhBLW

8 Well if you want to get picky, General Robt. E. Lee was named in 1807, and this guy on ESPN was named sometime in the last couple decades of the 20th century.

So technically speaking he WAS named after Robt. E. Lee.

39 That Reuters tweet is defective, if that's the right word. One of the links is no good, the other goes to a different story.

BTW, from the various headlines I've read here and there, Reuters screwed the story up twice: first calling the General the namesake of the announcer, and then correcting that to say that one or the other was a doppelganger of the other. I didn't read close enough to get to the bottom of that detail.

Oh wait, we can still use the word "token," right? Dang, did we step in it again? Well, we'll just have to broadcast sporting events without commentary to avoid these missteps. Hey, look at that! Our ratings have skyrocketed. This PC stuff works out just fine.

But of course that's only part of the problem.

Most here are dumbstruck at the ignorance, dishonesty, lack of comprehension, and lack of professionalism of major media. Many in the wider public are, as well.

But not everyone. Probably not even a majority - not in general.

If they were - if they had the basis in knowledge, experience, and understanding, even in mindset or values to be as sickened as we are - they *would* be so. This is how you have an Obama running for president. Or a Dem party that is a howling idiotic mob. Or a GOP that can get away with what it's been doing for years.

332 I'm sure the use of doppelganger was used to infer intelligence due to it's length. I have known people who use this strategy. And it works when talking to people dumber than they are. Unfortunately most people smarter than them don't bother pointing out how stupid they sound in social interactions. So this is another bubble effect. They hang out all day spouting big words to other idiots and all of them sniff the smug of how smart they are as a group. And it snowballs with no one in the group correcting them.

Is this season one Lena Dunham is in? Casting her as a clown will be a leeeeetle close to type.

If the cult is what the antitrumper Sarah Paulson escapes to, does that make the cult of zombie clowns Antifa?

408 Now VIA, calm down. As I understand it, you are more than 10 miles from C'ville.

Further - and this came as a shocker to me, at least - Lee had no particular connection to C'ville. I mean, he said "Virginia" when describing his wrenching decision as to which army to lead. No mention of C'ville.

Get a hold of yourself.

414 I am as far from being a gullible news consumer as a person can possibly be and still be well-informed of what the fcuk is really going on in the world. Instead of say, those average demo/commie voters who believe everything the 'media' says is true, I believe everything they say is a lie. I'm rarely proven incorrect on this.

416 ‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
“Their colour is a diabolic die.”
Remember, Christians, Negros, black as Cain,
May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.

425 My understanding of the surrender Lee at Appomattox was that what actually happened was that Grant stole Lee's sword when he let him inspect it and Lee was too much of a southern gentleman to ask him to give it back.

Ugh, I'll shut up - I didn't mean to be disrespectful to him. It's just the thought that someone like him could be juxtaposed with a 21st century asian ESPN sportscaster is absurd. Although, to be honest, most days I feel like this:

The General sure had some funny looking eyes for being Korean.
