Contemporary online journalists remind me of the Christian conservative groups who crusaded in the 1990s and 2000s for the FCC to censor Howard Stern because he said stuff they found offensive. It's the same censorious mindset, cloaked as ostentatious moralizing

@scrowder's targeted harrassment is a speech exercise that abuses the power of the hetero majority. Your free speech absolutism rests on a post-inequality delusion. -
Do't call it free speech absolutism, call it hate speech apologism. I wonder, if he also thinks, that we shouldn't put murderers into jail, bc it was their opinion, tthat the killed person should have been killed. I bet, he'd call it censorship as well.

There's been a lot of bad journalism for a long time....For instance the "yellow journalism" which got us into the Spanish-American War. But you're right that things have become more blatantly disgusting in recent years.
