Last week I pointed out that a story critical of SF DA Chesa Boudin was factually incorrect. Since then, his critics have gone to war on my mentions, inbox. I’ve been called racist (for criticizing an AAPI journalist), doxed, had demands that I be fired, etc.

You are getting pushback because you are discounting the AAPI immigrant experience by calling their concerns “bogus” - their concerns are driving the recall. You either are unaware of the Asian immigrant experience or chose to ignore it.

It’s fair game to call out a factually incorrect story - but don’t expect to get zero critiques when you ignore a huge reason why the recall is happening. This is a great opportunity for you to get educated on the difficulty and hardships of the Asian immigrant experience.

Problem is the general mechanism for that is one journalist fact-checks another, correctly, and then another journalist publishes a critique covering the points that weren't discussed or putting everything into the context that's been missed. It's…unreliable.

It’s totally fair game to fact check a bad story - but pushback is in large part because he wrapped that “fact check” into an anti recall narrative that totally missed the “context” of why the recall is happening, which is driven largely by attacks on AAPI elders.

He wrapped it into a narrative you don't like = the truth hurts and your counter narrative is wrong.
@radleybalko is well aware of why the recall is happening and he's checking the people blaming the problems on @chesaboudin when the problems have NOTHING to with him.
