No one ever accused the corporate media of hiring the best and brightest ‘reporters.’ Now, a viral video has emerged showing that one AP reporter is so gone that she can’t read grade-school-level writing.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday fired the general in charge of the agency that released the dubious ‘top secret’ intelligence assessment about the US’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, the leaker responsible, was fired as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
On Saturday, the AP apparently accidentally leaked footage of Lisa Dwyer, who was doing audio reporting, having an epic struggle with the simple concept of reading the piece.
Throughout the 3-minute video, she is heard pausing multiple times, laughing like an idiot, losing her train of thought, and repeating herself.
The male with Dwyer cannot believe he is stuck with such an idiot. Sometimes, he sounds like he’s trying to teach a child to read.
