@emptywheel@gregorykorte any analysis that ignores differences among wire/print/radio/TV will necessarily fall short. -
@OKnox Agree. But wouldn't effective boycott--of either candidate or WH--require participation of all?@gregorykorte -
@emptywheel Journalists are incapable of organizing a boycott. We see it as antithetical to the First Amendment. -
@gregorykorte I'm a journalist too, you know. One who chooses not to play certain games at all. -
@emptywheel Every journalist has to have their own rules about what games they will and won't play. That's why a boycott is impossible. -

@emptywheel Look, if every news outlet followed the sourcing policies they claim to have, a lot of bogus stories would never publish. -
