This is like calling a mugger "incredibly brave". You and she should both consider a more prosocial line of work, like garbage collection.https://twitter.com/NoahShachtman/status/1001285940999016450 …

Oh, protip: "So hopped up on Adderall, Ativan and vodka that you can no longer feel human emotions" isn't actually "incredibly brave", it just means your humanity has been devoured.

& there's a special sick chutzpah to this kind of thing when there are genuinely incredibly brave female journalists working in scarily repressive conditions in places like Turkey and the Gulf states with little to no backup from nominal "allies" over here, too

brave is the word for staying undeterred when "dead by hanging in an airport restroom, official ruling of suicide goes unquestioned despite complete implausibility" is a possible outcome (actual case a few years ago and the journalist was female)
-
if journalists who'll never be anywhere near that can't be bothered to use the advantages of their position to throw in behind the ones that are, the least they can do is show appropriate humility
-
hahahaha good one good joke

yeah, I am(slowly) cluing in that absolute lack of shame is a prerequisite for the job

Web journalism is like a mechanical chicken separator, but for sociopathy. Anything with a spine gets blasted bare and removed.
-
This is my worst metaphor ever
-
maybe, but atm I'm just enjoying the compact expressive power of the sentence "anything with a spine gets blasted bare and removed" too much to hold that against it
