...their immediate reaction is not to apologize, offer corrections, or look for ways to improve their reporting, but rather to blame the people who suffer most from their bad reporting for not doing their job for them.

They're also more interested in presenting drama and pseudo-soap opera rather than discovering and presenting the facts. The audience reaction itself becomes the story, based on the assumption that we're so egotistical we only want to hear about ourselves.

@DavidSalo they were right. Someone at “Journalism” school finally heard what P.T. Barnum had to say about people. If people would stop playing into this, that’d be great, but alas.

The problem I see with the media is not *bias* (at least, not political bias; there is probably a bias toward people willing to expensively wine and dine them) but rather incompetence and unwillingness to scrutinize themselves–or, indeed, other reporters.

When they make basic reporting mistakes, like relying on a single source, taking a source's words at face value, not double-checking, not looking for alternative points of view, lumping people into groups and ascribing one thought to each...+

Since Popeyes introduced the Blackened Chicken there is absolutely no excuse to still want or buy Chick-fil-A. They messed up my order though and gave me spicy today but I'm handling it and it's still delicious. Unfortunately, I have to pass on most spicy versions now due to my battered digestive system and new intolerances since removing my gall bladder. #noh8 #eatmorchikin

@Cdn_Skeptic_Wm I'm not completely surprised that this happened, it's been trending that way for a while. But, now, I feel less safe regarding the security of the LGBTQ community in this country.

Okay so I think I’ve processed what I can of the contentious event I missed which resulted in the loss of people from the community.

& btw in one year I’ve only seen & reported discriminatory dog whistle conversations 2 times on the platform. On the other sm sites that would have happened in what, 5 minutes?

And the only idea I had would be to add (if possible) a discrimination option to the report button stating what the protected classes are so I don’t have to write it out?

The weakest Speaker in the history of the HoR has given his stamp of approval to an "impeachment inquiry" which is not even founded upon a *suspicion* of anything wrong; that is, it's just a fishing expedition.

What it really shows is that Marjorie Taylor Green has tight hold of Qevin's rudder.

I don't expect this to go anywhere, and I don't think Qevin does either, but I think he'll find the political downside for him is much worse than he imagines. It could lose him the House.

No one tell Republicans that if they do succeed in removing Biden from office...

...we'll get the nation's first black female president.

Let it be a surprise.

If there is even a sliver of a chance that tfg gets re-elected (which better not happen) and dangers to democracy grow, wow will CoSo be needed as a place to communicate freely even harder.

@cassandra17lina reality, lol

Elon should change Resist hashtags into Thankyouforyoursupport.

@DavidSalo Thank you. People often seem to mistake the appearance of sincerity for actual sincerity.

Both victims and perpetrators.

My first impulse is to throw in a Molotov cocktail, close the door, and walk away.
