The Hill and Glass Houses
After making absolute hay over President Trump inadvertently referencing Kansas in his Super Bowl tweet, The Hill places Salt Lake City in Nevada.
Remember earlier this month when President Trump inadvertently congratulated the state of Kansas for the Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl? Clearly The Hill wanted you to know about it.
They tweeted the link to this article fifteen times in 24 hours:
And in case you didn’t get the message, they also tweeted a link to this article eleven times in 24 hours:
And, on the outside chance people didn’t notice the other thirty-six tweets, The Hill then tweeted out this article six times:
But they weren’t done. They also tossed this tweet in for good measure.
So, if you hadn’t heard that Trump accidentally referenced the state of Kansas while congratulating the Kansas City Chiefs, you must not follow The Hill on Twitter.
So imagine my surprise when yesterday I saw this tweet from The Hill:
Huh.
Now, I can understand confusing Kansas City, Missouri with Kansas City, Kansas. They’re right across the river from each other.
But Salt Lake City, Nevada?
Seems like the odious Rick Wilson was mocking the wrong demographic when he appeared on Don Lemon’s show.
If the Hill can’t tell the difference between Utah and Nevada, perhaps it shouldn’t be so quick to leap on President Trump’s geographical errors.
I think today The Hill should tweet out an article with this headline, “The Hill shares then deletes tweet claiming Salt Lake City is in Nevada.” But not just once. They should tweet it out at least a dozen times.
And while they’re at it, they should add this tweet: “The Hill mocked for Pete Buttigieg tweet confusing Utah for Nevada.” Ten or eleven times should do the trick.
Then they can ask Julia Louis-Dreyfus to comment on how stupid the folks at The Hill are and tweet that out another half dozen times.
Seems only fair.
I guess The Hill never heard the expression “People in glass houses in Salt Lake City, Nevada shouldn’t throw stones.”
