If a working journalist cannot say that something true happened solely because it reflects badly on the subject, their publication has no interest in truth.

Managers spent DAYS factchecking and diluting our scripts, accusing them of being unfair or, in the case of saying millions were killed in Belgian Congo, "unsubstantiated."
Same managers told jr editors not to factcheck MAGA columns, or else they'd never publish + they needed "viewpoint diversity."

Why? Well, for starters, 300 ICE agents have been moved to Chicago, leaving only about 300 in LA County which is about what we had before Trump took office. Why are they leaving? Because LA made their jobs TOO FUCKING HARD. LA Organized. LA sat on corners outside Home Depots with radios. 5/

It just boggles my mind that when we puzzle over how we got in this mess everyone doesn’t just point at Rupert Murdoch. It used to be to get this level of alternate reality someone would hand you a copy of a copy of a copy of an incoherent manifesto.
