Seems pretty metaphorical for the whole situation, no?
- nkozyra 7y agoThe information highway sure turned out to be a perfect medium for disinformation, huh?
- jlmorton 7y agoThis is not just a guy on Twitter, he's a well-known reporter for Mother Jones Magazine. What he's saying does not dispute anything in the well-cited Reddit post. It just offers new information which paints it in an entirely different light. Because rather than basing the entire allegation on WHOIS records, he reached out to talk to the person involved, something that reporters do, but the Reddit hivemind does not.
