People post contradictory evidence to journalism they don't like all the time. Their "evidence" is usually conspiracy theory crap that can't pass even logic checking, much less fact checking.
- weberc2 8y agoSure, but it's not easy to find all of the debate about a given assertion in a particular article, much less contribute to that debate (given that it's probably distributed across a bunch of social media venues). One can easily imagine hovering over a given assertion (e.g., "Damore posted an anti-diversity screed") and see the fact-checks, perhaps ranked by fact-checker's credibility in order to suppress conspiracy theory crap as well as contribute to the debate. Anyway, that there is lots of noise among the criticism doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of valid criticism. It's only been a few months since nearly the whole American newsmedia willfully mislead the nation, sending an angry mob after innocent kids, after all.
