    You aren’t all powerful. But the decline of your industry led unqualified writers at BuzzFeed, NYT Opinion, Recode, Vox, Wired, WaPo and more to publish just-the-flu journalism — provably false from the medical literature at the time — that helped cause people to sicken & die.https://twitter.com/chrismohney/status/1248961597114060801 …

        Just-the-flu journalists insisted that it wasn’t a big deal, nothing to see here. Despite being actively rebutted at the time, no retraction, correction, resignation, termination, apology. Here’s a contemporaneous thread from Jan 31, there are so many more.https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1223088081777065985 …

        First, you made a comparison error. The current death toll of the flu is not comparable to the future death toll of a fast-spreading new virus with no vaccine. Second, to reduce that future death toll, WHO just declared a global emergency. "Panic" is never warranted, concern is. https://twitter.com/azeen/status/1223020563351973888 …

        You seem pretty against freedom of press these days. Maybe we should get foreign investment out of journalism. Stop blaming the writers and blame the editors/owners. Our taxes pay for freedom of press for public corps w foreign ownership. I respect you but not this narrative.

        He's criticizing them for false narratives, not advocating they go straight to gulag for it

        You’re picking on those sources and not the conservative media that was in denial longer than the sources that you cited???

        That's not the point. Outlets from both parties are complicit. Point is the wide spread failure in their journalistic duties. Corporate journalism is a dying scheme.

        what does that have to do with whipping up hatred against tech and billionaires for pageviews? you seem to want to conflate those things with anti-vaxxers which seems kind of a stretch to say the least

        Go and read the anti-vaxx people these days. It’s all merged together with paranoia about Gates and tech.

        @balajis @chrismoh First step towards the finding a solution for a problem is to acknowledge the problem. For the longest time news stories online were not allowed to break until the print version would go out. -- Paper-vs-Digital

        Nonsense. POTUS was also leading from the front with just the flu, and other international organizations. Also, best shot is the gazillionaire pharma industry, not a 'tech billionaire'..

        And what is so cute how you instinctively forget to mention Fox in list above. Or maybe you do think Fox is more credible than the rest.
