I don't have time to respond in whole to Aunt B's post (Misogyny? Are you kidding me?), but I think it's important to quote this part of it:
So, let me tell you a little bit about life on the ground here in Tennessee. Here, we liberal bloggers are outnumbered by conservative bloggers by about six to one, I’d guess. Here, there are maybe a dozen feminist bloggers throughout the whole state and a handful, at best, bloggers who blog for immigrant rights.
NiT is the one platform we have to reach a larger readership, to try to influence policy.
If we lose Brittney, we lose the one prominent liberal feminist voice in the state being paid by a news outlet. We lose our gathering place, we lose our rallying place. WKRN is an extremely conservative station. If they don’t have Brittney, I don’t see any reason for them to keep NiT.
Your behavior threatens to take that from us–again such arrogance.
Brittany screwed up posting that vile crap without comment, but apparently, she did so for it's ironic value. I, of all people, understand how hard it is to pull that off successfully. She blew it. She should acknowledge that and apologize to everyone who cared about Steve.
The Six Meat Buffet guy is another story. He's not worth linking to, and inasmuch as he isn't representing a network affiliate or his place of employment, I don't think it's proper to contact his employer. NiT, however, shouldn't be reposting his crap without comment and they certainly shouldn't be running his feed.
I apologize for putting this post together quickly. There's a lot more I want to say, but that will have to wait.
