Roy Moore's attempt to discredit journalists backfires

When Roy Moore's campaign asked people to report "inappropriate news organization contact," they probably weren't expecting this.

Let's just say "Bernie Bernstein" doesn't have anything on some of these submissions.

It's highly unlikely anything close to incriminating information on journalists is getting through amidst all the troll posts. Welcome to the internet, Roy Moore.
