The Atlanta Journal-Constitution slammed The New York Times over a column decrying the 'Peach State Plummet' focusing on Georgia natives Jimmy Carter and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley says Christianity is a first and foremost in Jimmy Carter's life as the 39th president enters hospice care in his hometown on 'The Story with Martha MacCallum.'after a writer took a swipe at the so-called"Peach State Plummet."
"Greene is the apotheosis of those who love hating so much, they no longer have any interest in collaborating for the good of the country and the world. Carter is the apotheosis of the mantra 'We’re better than this,'" Dowd wrote."So who do we want to be? Marjorie Taylor Greene or Jimmy Carter? Destroyers or builders?"
"We couldn’t believe it when we read it… A plummet? Really?" the editorial board began its piece Thursday. "Much of the resulting commentary hasn’t been favorable. And it certainly doesn’t represent the 21st century kind of state that Georgia has worked so hard to become," the editorial board wrote."The narrative, as evidenced by that ‘plummet’ headline, paints a very different picture of the Georgia that we know and love."
"We have good-paying jobs. And low unemployment. In 2022, Georgia’s average unemployment rate was 3.0%. By comparison, New York State's rate was 4.3%. You don’t need a calculator to see that’s a big difference," the AJC swiped the Times' homeland.
