Aisha Sultan is a bad journalist
Fighting back tears because her candidate lost, on the podcast wrapping up the election, Aisha Sultan calls a majority of the people in Missouri racists simply because they voted for republican candidates. She claims to have called the election for Trump although she never mentioned that once before today. Instead of producing facts, she relies on her "columnist" role and does not feel she needs to back her opinions up with truths. This goes all the way back to her days as education reporter when she repeatedly dealt in half-truths in regards to Lindenwood University and what they were accomplishing. It seems a shame to give someone without integrity a chance to preach at a subscriber base that doesn't agree with her and to allow her to call them names and present herself as better than everyone else. It would be good if she got out of her bubble and had real conversations with actual people instead of just parroting responses she reads on facebook.
