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 …

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

See link below which RTs Trevor Noah’s clipshow on the Pandumbic. Few people in tech have any expectations of Fox. But they did expect Vox to do better. They didn’t. This isn’t just one bad story btw, it was systematic incorrect groupthink over weeks. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1246336896982114311?s=21 …https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1246336896982114311 …

This clip show is really well done and an important piece of history.
We also need the one which includes clips from print (Vox, Washington Post, BuzzFeed, NYT Opinion, Wired, Recode, AP) and TV (CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN) equating virus to the flu.
Some headlines below. https://twitter.com/MacaesBruno/status/1246169932070518785 … pic.twitter.com/Udjjs0wt5L
