I mean...
the era version of this topic has:
- claims that
The Washington Post is full on nazi now (also NY Times and Wall Street Journal)
- people continually telling themselves that the first video they saw and responded to was exactly how things went down, and no new information came out later that in any way changed their first reactions by adding nuance or context (which is at odds with basically
fucking everyone elses take on what happened there)
- the one dude in there saying "But it turned out that that first video was super skewed to tell a specific narrative by a now banned from twitter troll. Also an independent investigation came to the conclusion that all the other "proof these guys are pieces of shit" videos are not of people from that school, let alone of the kid making the lawsuit. Why you heff to be so mad?" is getting the good ole JOIN DATE AND POSTCOUNT HMMMMMM treatment
e:
Like, the kids clearly being used as a political pawn, and the lawsuit bascially comes out and says so by going "THATS THE AMOUNT BEZOS PAID HURR" in its filing, but the kids still a fucking kid, he
has been done harm and been misrepresented in the press and consequently the court of public opinion, and the press
should have done a little bit more background checking before running with it.
Like, I get why the traditional press are under pressure when people just get their 'news' from whatever shit gets retweeted that they blindly believe, and the papers don't want to look like they're the last to know, but even so, the reason I respect the traditional press more than some twitter shithead retweeting rumours as facts is because they have a history of vetting information before publishing.
