Rebecca Morris, New York Times bestselling author upset over neighbor's rebel flag--actually Norwegian plus US flag honoring Olympics - Seattle Times did everything it could to spin the story, then deleted all comments --tma






A story about the times we live in, and assumptions we can make in our current political climate.

The news tip a few days ago said:

“Hi. Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying in front of a house in my Greenwood neighborhood. It is at the north-east corner of 92nd and Palatine, just a block west of 92nd and Greenwood Ave N. I would love to know what this ‘means’ … but of course don’t want to knock on their door. Maybe others in the area are flying the flag? Maybe it’s a story? Thank you.”

It was from Rebecca Morris, who is an author of The New York Times best-seller true-crime books. ...

     Take pity on this sort of ignorance. If you are a social justice warrior in Seattle it isn't easy to sniff out pockets of KKK and neo-Nazis, even when you are a New York Times best-selling author of true-crime books.
