      Out of all the bad journalism I’ve seen, this headline in the @sfchronicle is probably the worst I’ve seen. It poses a scandalous question about whether the DA is “letting criminals roam free” but the article is just about whether the courts make data accessible or not.pic.twitter.com/cwUl5CFozT

      The headline is designed to scare people. “Criminals!” Are they “roaming???” Article has no evidence of whatever roving bands of super-predators the paper is trying to conjure—it’s just about how the courts aren’t good at sharing information. You can’t make this nonsense up.

      In fact the headline itself is just posing the question. Do you “think” the San Francisco Chronicle’s reporting is responsible for over one thousand deaths of small children? Well, there’s no evidence of that, but I’m just “objectively” posing the question.

      The reporter has apparently been tweeting further nonsense, but I can’t link you to their tweets because they blocked me when I pointed out basic journalism ethics violations in their prior reporting.

      Here’s why using these words and asking these questions is so ludicrous: the discourse on “crime” is just all backward.https://mobile.twitter.com/equalityAlec/status/1422949466986921991 …

      UPDATED THREAD. You're going to hear a lot about how cops need more resources because "crime is surging" in the next few months. It's propaganda, and here's how you can respond:

      (If you’re wondering, “crime” is down in San Francisco according to official police data.)

      Where are the @journo_anon’s and @melG679’s of the world to engage here? He’s one of the most strident, smug, ascerbic ppl making this same claim, but with a huge following. @equalityAlec, the attitude and self righteousness are really not called for.

      (1/x) Interestingly, @equalityAlec’s was completely silent as to @sfchronicle’s journalistic ethics all year long while they published “non-opinion” pieces with HEADLINES about how “crime is down,” which everyone in sf, but for Alec who lives in DC, knows is bs…now sfchron

      for anyone curious, unsurprisingly, he’s worked with @chesaboudin @SFDAOffice from when Chesa was a public defender. In fact, he helped with Chesa’s appeal of the Humphrey’s decision. He’s been on Chesa’s podcast, etc. So, can we stop pretending like there is any objectivity…
