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 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
