“Term’s use by white supremecists”

lol

nyt really is evil

stealth editing is evil

defending racists to serve your agenda is evil

i dont care if jeong is racist

I care that they fired quinn norton for similar bullshit

they have no principles

Knowing the NYT, they'd probably say their principles are "flexible"

And then later stealth edit that to say "flawless"

Im fine with them hiring jeoung but defending her and lying about it is disgusting

Idk if it was hyperbole or my misunderstanding but I remember news reporting that Indy business we're putting signs out that said no gays allowed when a bill allowing the businesses some room in that regards

From what I remember news was reporting that the businesses were doing that

However it never had happened and I can't find the old articles anymore

This was like 3-6 years ago

@ExceptionalFeather tim talked about a site that archives the news stories from the editing i forgot what it was called @Timcast

newsdiffs.org

You could prob find it there

they dont get em all though

There it is

Some news sites block archiving though that’s why it doesnt get all of then

That's another scummy practice

"People were pointing out how shitty we are, so we made it so they can't do that any more"

I wonder why news orgs would want to block that 🤔

Oh, I'm sure it's some mundane reason that anybody on the street would agree with.

Good tool though, bookmarking for sure.

To protect thier “credibility”

To “change” history

Tim said this before , You google Richard Spencer in the UK , you can’t find anything racist about him or something like that . History gets scrubbed

Serious question, and I get the hyperbole, but at what points is the media the enemy of the people

is it when they doxx people

is it when they stealh edit articles

they are the ministry of truth

is it when they are more op-ed vs actual journalism

is it when they are more activism than journalism

is it when they have backchannels to a single campaign and unilaterally agree to get that campaign elected

is it when they have a backchannel to decide the collective narrative

i'm pretty sure real investigative journalist have always been a rare breed that usually ended up being freelance and just trying to sell their story to papers, rather than work for them.

and that's usually local news

like the trope of the corrupt new paper is old as dirt
