FYI - I wrote to #Indiginews about Khursten being a #SexTrafficking #pretendian & they never edited the article for accuracy/honesty. Despite the writer of the article being OK with it being edited for accuracy. This is not being upfront & it is not cool for ANY media, much less #Indigenous media to lie about white girls being fucking #Cree.
This is the article:

Please contact them & let them know that telling the public a white girl is a Cree is NOT OK:

Looking straight at #Indiginews & their #PoorEthics team. They've promoted #Pretendians a lot & refuse to correct errors. They're no better than white folks who use natives to get more followers. Fucked up native media outlet.
#Update - #Indiginews #editor refuses to correct their story on TMX with a white woman claiming to be #Cree - I've been advised to get people to #email the editor & let them know that not correcting their errors on a #pretendian & using their story for more #clickbait isn't cool or #ethical 👊
They can't deny they weren't told the truth 👍 They're just refusing to correct their published #lies 😡
Please email them & let them know it's not ok:
I'm now going head to head W/ new #Indiginews editor because my friend quit being their editor due to clashes in ethics. I am NOT OK with them using a white ass #lying #pretendian & sex work recruiter as a spotlight person! I'm not going to be fucking quiet about it. Pretendian is using their article as 'foot in' to many vulnerable native communities across Canada. Grooms naive girls by trying to buy them, first.

#Indiginews needs to better their #ethics - you're not spending any extra time on #FactChecking & contributing to distribution of #disinformation 👎
