It’s almost as if people who have a platform and their main directive is to write true words... Are held to a high standard and criticized when their words are wildly untrue Crazy how that works
i think it's absolutely correct to criticize reporters when they incorrectly report facts but if i were gonna take that platform, i wouldn't post equally wildly untrue things like "reporter called everyone who advocated for prep a racist" when the screenshot literally says "he"pic.twitter.com/Rgyu5FMbLa

in general i think this attitude taken towards the tech press is fucking stupid like. if you believe their platform is important and they're reporting the wrong things, help them report the right things. if you don't believe their platform is important then ignore them

Or it’s possible to hold both in your head. Which is that the platform is important, but you also want to engage when you believe they have reported something factually incorrect Very appreciative of the shit bear writing the Uber book, I don’t agree with his conclusion...
