      Can we please skip the semantics? Yglesias was wrong about the lab leak media stuff, but here his meaning is clear. He thinks these are Potemkin grassroots groups (“fake”) that don’t have large segments of the public behind them. They do however exist (“real”).

      He wrote fake, he was quoted as saying fake, and now he's denying he wrote what he did because fake has a range of connotations. He should perhaps have been more careful with his language. Semantics is important when you are a writer.

      Your usual disingenuous bullshit is back I see.

      Saying that a professional writer should use clear diction (so they don't have to backtrack in a few days for using a common word) is disingenuous? Maybe you should also think about your diction.

          You are already walking back your claim. At first it was he said something was “fake” and then said something opposite. Now it is he needs to be more clear in his language. The latter I think is a fair and correct critique but it’s a walk back from your original claim.

          My original claim was literally quoting the discrepancy between what he originally wrote and his walk-back. This supports the claim that he should have been more clear in his language.

          I don't come to twitter expecting college level grammar and I follow you so I have never been disappointed.
