"Yeah, Vox is losing credibility."
Serious question: did they ever have credibility? Other than being able to apparently fund a site and pay (?) writers, is there something else there I just wasn't aware of?
- OopsCriticality 11y agoThey have none in my eyes. I used to email them pointing out simple factual errors in their articles (i.e., stuff that a quick Google or Wiki search would find). Never once received a response back. Almost always, there would be silent updates to their articles correcting the errors... I refuse to succumb to Gell-Mann Amnesia: if Vox's quality control is crap on issues that are the small set I am informed on, then I am forced to conclude it's crap in other areas too. Aside from the QC failures, failing to clearly disclose the corrections strikes me as difficult to defend journalistically.
