Daniel W. LathropHot Take: Other news organizations should strongly consider whether NPR's exit from #birdsite and the behavior leading up to it means that the only public spirited, journalistic response is to suspend operations as well. https://www.npr.org/2023/04/12/1169269161/npr-leaves-twitter-government-funded-media-label #Solidarity #Journalism
Richard@dwl They should have made that decision at a dozen points before today. I have great admiration for NPR, but their exit is not a sign that others should be exiting as well, but rather evidence that even the most ethical news organizations (and ones not driven by profit) will only leave Twitter when the deliberate bigotry and content manipulation affect their organization directly.
@richard_merren You may well be right. But sometimes the drip-drip-drip adds up. This feels to me like a moment where news organizations need to do some real introspection.
