THE MEDIA IS CORRUPT

Replying to @DanielleFong @MeFromBefore
Honestly, Danielle, if you're going to keep saying this you need to clarify what you mean. Do you mean specific media outlets—or inevitably journalism as a practice? Do you mean specific ethical missteps taken by journalists?If so, which ones, and can you cite examples?

Chasing a woman journalist who had recently been assaulted down the street while your friends laugh is corrupt. Inciting harassment from 4Chan neo-Nazis against Gawker journalists is corrupt. Saying "In a just world" journalists would be "killed" 4 saying mean things is corrupt.

Lots of actions are unethical. No individual is perfectly virtuous. Every industry is rife with corruption & moral infirmities—but saying "the media is corrupt" repeatedly in unjustified furious assertions will win you favor only with Trumpists & anti-Semites, alienating others.

Ethical investigative reporting is rare. But journalists with integrity exist, and they are under attack right now, by people who compile kill lists of them, stalk them and their families, threaten them, pull knives on them, and worse.

They need to speak out against their own system.

Balaji S. SrinivasanVerified account @balajisThe Vox Doctrine Media companies are profiting from a crisis they helped create. Vox/Recode dismissed the pandemic, scorned precautions, told you not to wear masks, even attacked philanthrophy! Now they're setting traffic records. Need citizen journalism, not corporate media. pic.twitter.com/54jGxWE3yTShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Balaji S. SrinivasanVerified account @balajisVox is sending about 0 million masks to the front lines of the coronavirus crisis That sounds terrible until you remember that they helped cause the crisis by publishing just-the-flu misinformation, and still haven’t either apologized or retracted Then it sounds more terrible https://twitter.com/teddyschleifer/status/1242168063451000832 …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Balaji S. SrinivasanVerified account @balajisNo. Vox did not accurately relay what experts were saying at the time. WHO had declared it a *global* emergency in late Jan, weeks before the infamous Recode handshake piece. The facts were there. They were covered up in favor of a just-the-flu narrative. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1228447944287932416 … https://twitter.com/EricNewcomer/status/1243580674193395713 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes

Dave RubinVerified account @RubinReportThis is absolutely, staggeringly bananas insane. Vox (which gets almost everything wrong and is pretty much trash) raised over 300 MILLION in funds is now asking you to chip in and keep the operation going. What a farce from top to bottom. cc:@balajis@micsolana pic.twitter.com/hgnJrawxS9Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Balaji S. SrinivasanVerified account @balajisYou aren’t all powerful. But the decline of your industry led unqualified writers at BuzzFeed, NYT Opinion, Recode, Vox, Wired, WaPo and more to publish just-the-flu journalism — provably false from the medical literature at the time — that helped cause people to sicken & die. https://twitter.com/chrismohney/status/1248961597114060801 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes - 12 more replies
