A gentle reminder that you should always resist the temptation to tag a creative person into a negative review of their work. It doesn't matter what your intentions are, it's kind of an asshole maneuver. You are free to say whatever you like, of course. Making it their problem, however, is not kind.

This is the stuff I'm a doomer about. Real journalism takes time - even a quick, original 700-word story requires a lot of legwork, relationships, etc.
It can never compete with instant slop, or accounts that just plagiarize news for free with more sensationalistic (and wrong) framing.

"Journalism...is built on the economics of attention"
Facts are boring. Conspiracy theories are exhilarating. Besides, fact checks are happening in spaces where the lie consumers aren't. No Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, NY Post, WSJ oped consumer is reading Politifact or Kessler. JFK is alive, after all.

4 years ago today, then President Donald Trump incited an armed attack on the Capitol of the United States, while also reportedly suggesting to aides that his own VP deserved to be executed by a mob of his supporters at the Capitol. Those who minimize what he did, or whitewash it, are lying to you.
