@froomkin I can still picture that arrogant creep sitting in that office with his feet on Pelosi's desk. And he made some snide remarks, as I recall, about what being in there. Hope his sentence when it comes is not a wrist-slap but real punishment.

@froomkin Yeah, it's getting really carried away when the media still says "alleged" after the conviction.

@wolfger

Alleged doesnt mean "not conviced".

@froomkin it it not an entire profession to write accurate headlines independently of the active author? They literally had one job.
Show threadBrittle Anxious Nonlinear IncoJan 23, 2023
@froomkin considering the photographic evidence, he never was alleged

@froomkin you've never heard the old legal maxim "innocent despite proven guilty"?

@froomkin CONVICTED. Perhaps someone needs to send him a dictionary?

@froomkin This is exactly the type of journalistic ignorance and/or sloppiness that makes me grind my teeth to nubs.

@froomkin Meh. I don’t think that’s as bad as Ars Techinca referring to ransomware attackers’ ill-gotten takings as “profits.”

@froomkin thank you. Can't tell if it's bad civics, bad writing, or just stupidity. In any event, it needed to be pointed out.

@froomkin He’s not a rioter, either. An insurrectionist, perhaps a domestic terrorist, but not a rioter.
Show threadBWheatNYCJan 24, 2023
@froomkin They also should have called him an insurrectionist, not a rioter.
