    .@sfchronicle is notorious for parroting police/DA narratives (unless you're a progressive like @chesaboudin, of course). they REGULARLY failed to use "allegedly" when covering my partner's trial. printed lies as facts. as a journalist, that showed me everything i needed to know.https://twitter.com/matthewferner/status/1355259655153303553 …

        our team sent in corrections, and they even made a few of them because they were so egregious, but failed to actually indicate on the article that a correction had been made. like, what?? i couldn't believe it.

        i remember being livid and feeling so helpless. as a writer, i wanted to tweet and write and fight against the completely irresponsible coverage i was reading. the gap between what was happening in court and in the paper was so wide.

        when the DA's star witness (this was in '18) admitted to lying FIVE different times on the stand during cross-examination, THAT should've been the headline of the next story. that should have been *IN* the story, at least! no. they just kept recycling the same DA talking points.

        anyway. these things have consequences. lazy reporting leads to misinformation being spread and aggregated. even @theappeal (which i really respect and love!!) has printed inaccurate information about my partner's case, because of this shoddy SF reporting.

        i don't blame them. how could their reporters know that wasn't the whole story or an accurate picture of what happened, when it was printed in a "reputable" paper?!
