A couple of recent real gems from Clara Jeffery, editor of Mother Jones. Nothing partisan here, keep moving along.
In April, 2017, after the 2017 Shayrat missile strike, with the launch of 59 Tomahawk (missile) cruise missiles in response to the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack, Jeffrey wrote on Twitter, "That the missiles are callled tomahawks must enrage a lot of Native Americans", allegedly accusing the naming due to cultural appropriation. The comment was met with mockery by some users on Twitter with many pointing out that the U.S. military has a history of naming after Native Americans. Further, the U.S. military gets permission from Native American tribes before naming after them per the Department of the Army’s Pamphlet 70-3, paragraph 1-11-4-g.
On June 9th 2017, following the United Kingdom general election, 2017, Jeffery wrote a post on Twitter in which she misinterpreted an article referring to the United Kingdom's First-past-the-post voting system as the first time a system entitled 'past the post' had been put in place, despite that system existing in the United States of America, and Jeffery editing a publication whose entire focus is on U.S. politics.
