I'll never stop being amazed that journalists are using Elon Musk's rancid propaganda platform to complain about newspaper owners' interference with editorial content.
Marty Baron, former Washington Post editor, did it on Friday.
Irony is too meek a word to capture this kind of willful blindness...
"I know this is a Nazi bar run by a fascist owner now, but none of the other bars in town has this number of patrons, so I am going to keep hanging out here!"
@[email protected] Imagine you are a journalist in Berlin in 1932. A bar you liked to hang out with your journalist friends in was taken over by a rich Nazi-sympathizer 2 years ago. Then the bar became a Nazi hangout. You still go there daily to hangout with your journalist buddies, trying to ignore the loud SA brownshirts all around. You don't like them, but you won't change bars because all your friends are there. That's what our journalists are doing now.
