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 used to think of #reuters as a trustworthy news source. Now ... They're in the same bucket at Fox News and the Daily Mail. All that effort to remove a small piece of joy from the world, and dox an artist whose anonymity was a key part of his brand. What about the atrocities that need a light shone on? Too hard I guess.
