NPR Reporter Says Her Job Requires \u2018A Bulletproof\u00a0Vest\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

For most people, a job as a reporter for National Public Radio would be a safe and prestigious vocation. But NPR\u2019s national correspondent for abortion and politics believes it\u2019s a hazardous war zone that requires a bulletproof vest.<\/p>\n

NPR correspondent Sarah McCammon wrote on Twitter:<\/p>\n

My bulletproof vest that I may need to be a journalist in America arrived and they sent me a Small and I had to adjust it to make it a little smaller and for a moment I was happy that I was too small for my bulletproof vest that I need to do journalism in America.<\/i><\/p>\n

She deleted her original comment, but not before others had taken a screenshot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

People asked her why she deleted the Tweet, in addition to other hilarious quips.<\/p>\n

“Stolen valor. Why not send it to a journalist who actually is in danger, but who can\u2019t afford a vest? Our neighbors in Mexico who cover cartels for instance? #collegecreatesstupidity”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
