Reading King’s statement, I think they may have told King about it, but didn’t publish anything, and then it was reported by KCCI and WHO when he made his statement.
Why would anyone go out of their way to go after that kid. I’m quickly losing faith in humanity. Just so tired of this kind of stuff.
Apparently he quoted or posted something from tosh.0.....8 years ago, when he was 16. He had to have a press conference to explain it before it could have done serious damage. Some next level p.o.s. stuff here from the DMR.
Cancel culture is the worst

Lines have been drawn in the sand over the last 10 days. Iowa and ISU fans hate each other more than ever. Then the Register does the unthinkable. They do something so terrible that it actually unites the two fanbases. Thank you Des Moines Register.
That's how I'm understanding it too.
Believe me, I'm not one to pass up an opportunity to bash the Rag, but I'm wondering if the reporter was trying to do the right thing. Tell Carson before it got printed by someone else.
Maybe he decided it was better to just come clean and not try to "hide" the tweet by deleting it.
Social media has done a lot of good things but recently it’s done more harm than good
What was the tweet? I'm not going to give the Rag or KCCI a click. Someone just post it here. But **** the Rag anyway.
I call on everyone to boycott the Des Moines Register. What they did to someone who raised over $1M for sick and dying children was disgraceful. Who knows how many dollars in additional support they've now blocked by digging up dirt on then child
Don't give anyone of their articles a single click. Randy Peterson and the register need to be gone
Says they are honoring the funds matching.
So does this basically just mean no more funny tweets from the Busch account?

So many things in this world that need good reporting on. “Let’s do this instead”.
I don't even know yet if it was the Register that dug it up. I can't imagine they would waste time and resources on this.
Just saying there are people out there who would do this and tip off the Register who would be expected to contact King for comment.
A very certain kind of person.
It’s possible some reporter wanted to make sure the guy wasn’t a Nazi before giving him sainthood, found something a little questionable, and then warned Carson about it.
Now that’s probably about as pro-Register as it gets...
