    Man I didn't realize the Covington clusterfuck was a year ago. I gotta say that it permanently caused me to revise my trustworthiness-estimate of many media outlets and journalists downward -- sorta a big moment for me in a media-nerdery way.

        Covington was also a useful example of how Twitter absolutely radicalizes journalists. Because they are on it, all day every day, watching how their friends respond to every news item in real time -- always emphatically -- that has a profound effect on shaping coverage.

        The publication of this, in particular, was a Holy Shit moment. The whole point was to name and shame journos/pundits who acted *correctly* after the long video dropped.

        Same, and my media trustworthiness was already really low after the Franken allegations.

        We have an apparatus made up of journalists and activists who nominally purport to be truth-tellers and accountability-holders, but who unironically say things like "if hillary won, we'd be having brunch right now" and don't see what an own-goal that attitude is.

        I had a similar reaction to all the 2015-2017 stories about college campuses being out of control that then fell apart after cursory investigation. Has been a bad time for the media.

        Covington also changed the way I saw the news & journalists. I still admire many of them but I no longer trust their neutrality or perception in the way I used to.

        This was it for me. It came out my first year at UVA, and I believed every word of it. Ever since it turned out to be false I have been skeptical of everything the media reports.
