Very excited to spend time this afternoon explaining to my mother that no, I am not part of a secret cabal of Antifa press sworn to obedience and secrecy by HR papers signed in my own bloodhttps://reason.com/2020/09/04/youre-not-allowed-to-film-the-fight-for-control-over-who-reports-from-portland/ …
Stoked also that Reason has linked to a spreadsheet intended to help people find and support independent journalists--which features my first and last name--and accused us of being "an organized group in league with the activists"
Absolutely thrilled to death to remember the origins of the "Andy Ngo provides kill lists to Atomwaffen" thing: namely, when he allowed a similar list of "Antifa Journalists" to be published in Quilette and then Atomwaffen uses that list as a kill list
Ecstatic beyond reason that @NancyRomm decided to depend entirely on conjecture to write a piece that puts my life and the lives of people I care about in danger through implications she cannot back up with fact, on account of they're baseless
Let me break it down: there is no cabal. There is no organized syndicate in league with Antifa HQ There are journalists who understand a basic tenet of journalism (and life): to gain access to a story, avoid actively antagonizing and/or endangering the people whose story it is
When some major news network cites an anonymous source within the administration, are they engaging in nefarious practices? Of course not. The source spoke on condition of anonymity. No reasonable person bats an eye at that This is the same thing
It's true I don't film faces. Because journalistic integrity does not mean "do everything in your power to hurt your sources and then be shocked that your sources aren't a big fan of your work and don't want you around and refuse to grant you access"pic.twitter.com/Uhc5l7xygp
It's also true I have a point of view. I have opinions about these protests and I make them pretty clear. So do you, Nancy. Opinion journalism is a thing. I report facts and add color commentary. You do the same, except clearly without the "facts" part (at least in this article)
You didn't interview a single person for this article. You link to a spreadsheet which is actually not even remotely evidence of the kind of conspiracy you're implying And if that's what you think journalism is? Well, you're certainly right that we aren't doing the same thing
Anyway, congratulations on your byline and I'm very sorry you haven't found more success covering these protests by antagonizing the people you want to cover, I have to go write my mother apparently, thanks so much
Edit: some more information on the upstanding unbiased journalist who did a journalism for Reason Magazinehttps://twitter.com/stickwithjosh/status/1285622907008319490?s=20 …
One more thing and I swear I'll get back to real work but can we all just bask in Rommelman's claim that @IwriteOK does "Tick-Tock of events"

I can only aspire to this level of journalism, chalk this whole thread up to a fit of petty jealousy
