    Jeet Heer Retweeted Owen Jones  🌹

    It's weird how upset British media is at this tweet, which seems perfectly reasonable & backed up by evidence.https://twitter.com/OwenJones84/status/987277145230708736 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Owen Jones  🌹Verified account @OwenJones84
    British journalism is one of the most socially exclusive, discriminatory professions in Britain. It doesn't matter how many angry media types there are yelling at me otherwise, because the data is extremely clear on this. https://twitter.com/DrDaveOBrien/status/987276275986419713 …

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        There is nothing that Owen Jones can say without certain media types jumping all over him and criticising him. He’s made a valid point about the state of UK journalism, and they hate it. More power to him I say.

        Seems lots of journalists hate the internet for giving their critics a platform, and mistake our criticism as harassment, and their indignation as courage.

        It's not hypocrisy to point a statistic out whilst also acknowledging you too have benefitted from a certain privilege

        We're upset because Owen Jones has a long history of bullying and demagoguery. Please stay in your lane.

        No you’re upset because you despise the left. As do most of the whinging journalists, shown by their public behaviour on twitter over years.

        I think it's the sheer hypocrisy that galls so much.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        There’s a mirror of the hostility toward other forms of privilege being pointed out or discussed, few people like to concede or consider they didn’t significantly earn their place, or on another contentious point he put out, maybe can’t think for themselves
