Worth noting this is my deal and Peter hasn’t heard of this company yet. This reporter is lazy.https://twitter.com/jeffbercovici/status/1172557011709358080 …

Lazy because he didn't interview you for the piece? Lazy because he mentioned Peter, a famous person, by way of IDing Founders Fund? I'm confused by this allegation, as this is all that's in the piece about Peter or FFpic.twitter.com/T28bMJ3ZPz

you seem to be objecting to my tweet rather than the story, which I didn't write. I will readily admit I don't do a ton of reporting for my tweets

Yes, I’m objecting to the tweet and thank you for acknowledging that you didn’t do any background before sending them.

jeff, man, you are a professional journalist. your public tweet drew a connection that did not exist. that, to almost anyone reading it (including myself) reads as reporting.

in the small universe of people who know what Founders Fund is, saying Peter Thiel's Founders Fund is an investor does not imply it's Peter's deal, nor did I ever think it was. do I think it's interesting his firm keeps investing in privacy-abridging tech? yes i do. still do.

do I think it's funny for someone to criticize me for not doing background before sending a tweet while calling me a "reporter" when my twitter bio says I'm an editor? I dunno, it's a little on the nose, actually

Mike, c'mon. When she said "this reporter" she thought I was the one who wrote the story. 98% of my job is editing. David Remnick writes too sometimes, is he "a reporter for The New Yorker"? this is dumb

cyan is speaking - CLEARLY - to your tweet. i am not trying to play some kind of game, here. people read what you publish on twitter as reporting. the connection you drew was incorrect. cyan corrected your connection.

if she is saying "it's lazy to use Peter's name to draw attention to stories involving Founders Fund," that's a reasonble criticism. has zero to do with whether I did any "background" for my tweet, and I'd still push back against it, but it's a POV I'd acknowledge

it's not what I think Cyan meant, and I think calling me "this reporter" is a clear tell, but if she wants to fall back on that as a face-saving position, it's cool with me, I don't get paid extra to do this
