I know everyone means well with their 'scoop this reporter up immediately' endorsement posts but christ — who's doing the scooping? What's left?
Thinking about our industry this way, like this is a momentary setback and there are ample open roles, obscures the truth about the rot at its core.

Now that we’re in the era of influencer journalism, which is often pseudo-journalism, I believe people will only further associate the practice of journalism alongside building a personal brand and monetizing it. That is the logical conclusion of journalism under capitalism.

Nothing says "We aren't a right-wing death squad" like wearing a neo-nazi skull mask. He looks like he's ready to shoot up a mall.
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

There is a kind of man, who is made of straw, and it is very important that you get mad at this man.
There is a kind of left-wing discourse on indigeneity that is basically "Far-right autochthonous ethnonationalism, but make it woke." We should acknowledge past harms of colonialism and pay reparations. But we should not wind the clock back to where everyone's ancestors lived hundreds of years ago.
"no human is illegal on stolen land" is a stupid slogan because of the stolen land part. indigenous peoples, whatever that means, also don't have a right to deny the legal protections of citizenship to foreigners
