The journalists who spent time and energy learning Banksy’s identity, then published the details, suck.

They suck.

They could have spent that time and energy exposing corrupt billionaires and politicians.

They could have minded their business and let us continue to enjoy the fun of not knowing.

Those journalists are conscience free, romance free.

They suck.

@kentparkstreet1 You mean Simon Gardner, James Pearson and Blake Morrison of #Reuters? (source: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/global-art-banksy/)

If I'd written that verbose nothing-burger and presented it to the world as #journalism I'd be ashamed of myself. They should be, too. Very poor judgment by Reuters as well.

@tokyo_0 @kentparkstreet1 I'm really disgusted by this report, as it violated the wished anonymity of an artist. WHY spend all this time and energy on it? Who cares?

INVESTIGATE THE EPSTEIN FILES INSTEAD DAMMIT

@_elena @kentparkstreet1 Took a closer look at one of the names. Pearson claims to be a Cambridge graduate, and is a seasoned writer who speaks Chinese and Korean, ran a bureau in Vietnam and specialises now in open-source intelligence. He could use his OSINT skills examining incidents that have caused civilian casualties in Ukraine, Gaza and Iran, and yet he chooses to waste those skills on this. Utterly shameful.
