Journalist Aaron Calvin, the Des Moines Register reporter who wrote about Carson King’s offensive tweets when he was just age 16, says that editors were responsible for the cancelation of the local hero and that he was just doing as he was told by the higher-ups.
Speaking with Buzzfeed News, Calvin said that he feels “abandoned” by the newspaper, whom he claims used him as a scapegoat after he followed standard editorial practice by researching Carson King’s social media history while doing a profile about him.
