    Imagine being a 17-year-old girl trying to explain racism, spontaneously and on the record, to an adult male reporter, and then he transcribes every "like" and "um" that you say in order to mock you on Twitter. This is not the purpose of journalism. https://twitter.com/dmartosko/status/1129206098672705536 …

        Every woman can specifically and exactly remember a time as a teenager she found the courage to give a thoughful, earnest opinion and was mocked by a grown man. F this guy.

        truly!!! i remember a professor in j-school warned us against doing it. "if you'd edit filler words out of the quotes for a senator, you'd better do it for anyone else"

        He's getting ratioed out of existence. The young lady has a lot of support here! And this is a good point too. Bullying is not reporting.

        "The Daily Mail has been widely criticised for its unreliability, as well as printing of sensationalist and inaccurate scare stories of science and medical research, and for copyright violations." I don't know how much actual journalism is involved, here.
