@deray which story?

@SamAdlerBell I'm assuming it's the one written by Greg Howard for NYTMag

@M_Woulf really? That story seemed pretty tame, fair

@SamAdlerBell Did anyone gain anything by it though besides Greg Howard?Howard loves trying to destroy people to promote himself CC:Whitlock

@M_Woulf reporters don't owe anything to their subjects. If they do, it's not reporting. It's PR.

@SamAdlerBell This really isn't true; integrity, conscience, ethics all apply. Deal ethically w/interview subjects.

@textualintimacy yes yes. You're right. I overstated. I specifically mean subjects don't need to "benefit" from being reported on.

@deray Reporter: "Hey, I want to interview you about you and your run for mayor." Forgets to mention it's going to be a hit piece.

@QuixoticMcGee @deray that's uh not the reporter's responsibility.

@SamAdlerBell @deray You're right of course. It just feels scummy to try to embarrass an activist in a national paper.

@QuixoticMcGee @deray personally I hope he's not talking about the NYT piece, which was fair & good. Greg Howard already has a career.

@deray Kind of like using deaths of fellow blacks to jumpstart a political career?

@deray kinda like using bullshit narratives like "hands up don't shoot" to raise money and cultivate division?
