Atlanta newspaper enters Trump, Lewis feud with front-page story

The front page of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Sunday blasts President-elect Donald Trump with the headline "Atlanta to Trump: Wrong."

The accompanying front-page article reacts to Trump’s criticism of Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), after the incoming president said Saturday the longtime congressman does nothing for his district, which Trump said is in "horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested)."

“The district that Trump described as in ‘horrible shape’ includes Emory University and Morehouse College, as well as Spelman College and Georgia Tech. The Coca-Cola headquarters is just one of that district’s many, high-profile corporate residents,” the AJC article declares.

As students at the black colleges (Morehouse and Spelman) know only too well, it would be inadvisable to take a stroll through the areas directly surrounding their campuses, even in the daytime. GA Tech students can venture out a little more safely, just not at night. But that reality does not fit the Chamber of Commerce narrative, so we get PR in place of truth once again.

In the distant past, Lewis may have been a positive factor in race relations. But that's no longer the case.

From his recent words, actions and hysterics, Lewis is beginning to sound like just another aging race pimp.

I can’t for the life of me see how DJT survives an attack from an established newspaper.

Atlanta, the only southern city suckier than Charlotte.

The Atlanta Constitution used to be one of the jewels of our “principled press” (to use Meryl Streep’s terminology).

That’s no longer true!! PHOOEY!!!!

Lots of regional and national big shots work in Atlanta during day shift and then drive home to satalite cities such as Newnan in order to escape the crime infested city called Atlanta. Concealed carry is not allowed for Ga. Tech students. They are told, just allow yourself to be robbed. No harm will come to you.

This is really going to sting coming from a newspaper filled with Republicans and Conservatives.

Ha ha. Just kidding.

Colleges wouldn’t exist without using tax-payer funded aid, and driving kids into debt with massive loans. Coke sells sugar-water. If that’s all your district can boast, you are indeed in a pit of poisonous dysfunction.

I generally only read non-fiction also, however I also do read fantasy once in a while. Latest is Eragon and the Oz stories. Never, ever a newspaper.

BTW did they happen to mention the Congressman has been arrested 45 times before he became a crooked democrat politician???? Check Dallas Ft Worth Police Dept Web Site....
