The Sun is really going the way of CNN and the NYT. Matchmakers Dating's cheapest package is $1,650USD for 9 months, it's not Tinder. It includes ongoing advice, which they gave her. If she didn't want advice she should have just used Tinder. Are they supposed to ignore the fact she is in a wheelchair? Then it would be Matchmaker didn't account for my disability. Feels like it's a setup to me. As a journalist why tweet this rather than creating a story and giving the right to reply? Interview them. Because outrage is cheaper. Reporters are just awful human beings. I guess people are awful but reporters have weaponized it.

> "Reporters are just awful human beings." You can't make a statement like that and expect anyone to take you even remotely seriously. Here are some journalists I've particularly looked up to over the years: [CJ Chivers] C.J. Chivers, a former foreign correspondent, is a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine. His Pulitzer Prize-winning cover story for the Magazine in 2016 led to the release from an Illinois prison of an Afghan war veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. [Dexter Filkins] Dexter Price Filkins ... is an American journalist known primarily for his coverage of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for The New York Times. He was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in 2002 for his dispatches from Afghanistan, and won a Pulitzer in 2009 as part of a team of Times reporters for their dispatches from Pakistan and Afghanistan. He has been called "the premier combat journalist of his generation". [Tim Hetherington] As a freelance photographer and filmmaker, Hetherington was interested in creating diverse forms of visual narratives from long-term projects. He spent eight years focused on stories in Africa, living in both Sierra Leone and Liberia. In Liberia he covered the Second Civil War behind the lines with rebel fighters, helping to film James Brabazon’s Liberia: An Uncivil War (2004). He was killed by shrapnel from either a mortar shell or an RPG fired by Libyan forces while covering the 2011 Libyan civil war. [Robert Fisk] As an international correspondent, he covered the civil wars in Lebanon, Algeria, and Syria, the Iran–Iraq conflict, the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Islamic revolution in Iran, Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, and the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq. Fluent in Arabic, he was among the few Western journalists to interview Osama bin Laden, which he did three times between 1993 and 1997.
