Why are you making it mutually exclusive? And why are you assuming it’s just a couple videos?

Why did you gesture at conspiricism instead of dealing with the substance of the article? Nowhere in that tweet did I make it mutually exclusive, I am giving priority to the problem that adds up to millions of dollars a year in theft from ppl, over a corp insured against theft.

I didn’t gesture at conspiricism. It’s about his reputation and the reputation of the chron. That’s where critical reading and reading comp are impt. And retail theft is costing millions of dollars in losses in SF and it’s not as simple as corps being insured against the theft

The dollar amt is actually the point. The fact that he was paid pennies and then admitted he is an ideologue only shows that he’s a blind partisan advocate (that’s the definition of ideologue) who doesn’t care about his reputation at all bc his POV is dogmatic

If you don't think the people/sources pushing the narrative that this is shuttering stores that Target & Walgreens announced they'd be closing months ago are also ideologues, you're mistaken. That's an awfully convenient excuse not to deal with the substance of the article, tho.

What I didn’t realize and now do is that Johnson is going to have the same opinion regardless of the facts, the data or the evidence. His opinion is worth the pennies he was paid. And you’re right, he doesn’t care about his reputation. At all.

You haven't given a single reason why his reputation is bad in the 1st place. The fact that you're spending all of this time focusing on his reputation instead of the substance of the article only underscores that you're an ideologue yourself- at least Johnson is honest about it.

I actually did speak about the substance. I said his opinion on the retail thefts in SF and the coverage of them was WRONG. I also he wasn’t comparing apples to apples. What he is doing is distracting from one issue by comparing it to a completely different issue.

I also pointed that while a couple videos have led to national coverage, it’s bc this is, in fact, huge problem in SF right now. Any DA in SF will tell you those videos are a dime a dozen.

Nowhere in that article does Johnson say that retail theft is fine or not an issue, or that it shouldn't be covered. He's comparing the disproportionate response media had. If you think this 1 article criticizing the media is excusing or permissing theft, that's delusional.

What’s delusional is writing this piece targeted towards people living in SF right now. It’s out of touch and tone deaf.

And his point does in fact minimize what San Franciscan residents are dealing with. That comparison is with the intent to minimize.
