Summary

Former Cowboys running back Marion Barber III has died at the age of 38. ABC News put on Twitter " the former Dallas Cowboys ,running back who scored plenty of touchdowns without recording a 1,000 yard season, has died". Really? Last week the Washington Post put out a tweet commemorating the two year anniversary of Geroge Floyd's death. The only problem is they said Floyd was shot and killed in police custody. No wonder why so many people don't trust the news media anymore. What the hell has happened to journalism in this country? Just embarrassing! Learn more about your ad choices.
