tabloid-y outlets gets a lot of mileage from breaking context like that, but if you're not just trying to make fun, good to email

remembering Gawkers "public is public" treatise (think: anti context integrity) that lots of folks on deadline adhere to

In this case it was someone blogging for a media watchdog I actually care about worked with for decades.

No, blogger was like "it's public". Didn't bother emailing me, pinging me about the piece, none. Misrepresented my views.

But the problem is structural. Just disappointed to see a dishonest ethos spread to places I care about.

Also, today. Someone took my writings from years ago, and without linking, made it sound like I gave them an interview now.

So stuff I wrote years ago is now faux-framed as a comment on something that happened this week. Mainstream outlet too.
