The Rolling Stone article took the accuser's side.

2018-08-25 01:20:15 UTC  

Which implicitly presumes the guilt of the accused.

2018-08-25 01:21:13 UTC  

The Rolling Stone article wouldn't have had any apologizing to do if they were merely spotlighting the situation objectively.

2018-08-25 01:21:33 UTC  

Even if they didn't assume the accused was guilty, the notion we should be looking for an evil sex cult who would shove a woman through a glass table and assault her while she was covered in blood with no evidence is a bit much

2018-08-25 01:22:28 UTC  

But that statement, absent the context, implies guilt.

2018-08-25 01:22:28 UTC  

Not to mention the fact that the primary "accused" wasn't a real person anyway

2018-08-25 01:22:45 UTC  

That's literally the problem with news today.

2018-08-25 01:23:02 UTC  

Magazines and outlets want to give their stories that 'Human touch'

2018-08-25 01:23:05 UTC  

Well if we believe someone when they say they've been assaulted, someone does have to be guilty of having assaulted them, unless we are to assume delusion

2018-08-25 01:23:25 UTC  

We just can't assume it's the person they point out

2018-08-25 01:23:26 UTC  

That means they have to get really close with the subject.

2018-08-25 01:23:37 UTC  

And that means taking a side.

2018-08-25 01:24:50 UTC  

The standards of 'Good Journalism' to the mainstream today requires taking the risk of being dramatically wrong.

2018-08-25 01:25:05 UTC  

And actual good journalism comes across as boring.

2018-08-25 01:25:26 UTC  

well, no.

2018-08-25 01:25:32 UTC  

I'd say Tim does good journalism

2018-08-25 01:25:47 UTC  

But that's largely because he has a bias that he 1. doesn't hide, but 2. keeps on a leash.

2018-08-25 01:56:26 UTC  

The only true objective way to cover it is by accepting a 'Schrodinger's Cat' paradox state.

2018-08-25 03:25:52 UTC  

Jesus christ. Sargonites already saw this shit, but holy shit...

2018-08-25 03:26:20 UTC  

Okay. I'm going to add a detail with every iteration of this. Let me know when it sounds insane.

A NASCAR driver lost a sponsorship.

A NASCAR driver lost a sponsorship over a comment.

2018-08-25 03:26:52 UTC

2018-08-25 03:26:56 UTC  

I was building up.

2018-08-25 03:27:07 UTC

2018-08-25 03:27:14 UTC  

Absolutely fucking maddening.

2018-08-25 03:27:23 UTC

2018-08-25 03:27:49 UTC  

A NASCAR driver lost a sponsorship over a comment from 30 years ago MADE BY HIS FATHER. AND THE DRIVER IS 26 YEARS OLD.

2018-08-25 03:40:56 UTC  

It doesnt even matter no more what you are saying, if your great grandfather said smth stupid in 1921, you are screwed

2018-08-25 03:43:42 UTC  

its the same argument made for reparations

2018-08-25 06:14:03 UTC  

"The Sins of the Father are not the sins of the Son."

Oh how we have strayed.

2018-08-25 06:16:59 UTC  

Also, this has gone beyond ridiculous at this point. What's the endgame? Children turning on their parents?

We approach the Chinese Cultural revolution increasingly by the day. People forget the cultural revolution lasted a full decade and was a fever among all parts of society (though students were the most visible).

Someone is suing CBS over Star Trek Discovery being plagiarism

2018-08-25 10:33:46 UTC  

Shit, pretty sure my great great grandfather called someone the n word... better go kill myself.

2018-08-25 10:39:32 UTC  

Wait, that is real.
