Thank you for being marked legitimate by dang and using that privilege to level content-free, snarky replies that address absolutely none of the feedback you directly asked for in this thread! Now who isn’t engaging with criticism, again? Literally a journalist showed up to engage with you while you’re banging on that we don’t, so, your reaction here kinda speaks for itself and explains a lot more than you think. Good luck with your news startup.

If you actually have substantive criticisms (that don't devolve to "I can clairvoyantly intuit your intent and thus know you to be an unreliable narrator even though I'm not going to be concrete/specific anywhere"), I'm happy to hear them! I've written extensively on this topic. My archive is full of specific examples you can adjudicate (many of which were brought to journalists by people who were not me). Earn yourself some correction bucks if you spot any overstatements! But your argument here was abstract, meanspirited, and not a meaningful attempt to take any specifics in my argument seriously. Hence why I screencapped it and intend to use it in my collection of journalists doing exactly that (i.e., reflexively dismissing concerns without any demonstrated curiosity or engagement with the meat of any of my proffered examples). EDIT: Fixed two typos. (Also note what edit marks are what people use to avoid changing what they wrote after the fact!)

  The best part is that I made up that I’m a journalist just to screw with you but you’re ready to publish it in your book as more evidence of journalists out to get you. I’m a product manager at a FAANG, dude, and I screw around on this forum for fun. Nice fact checking just believing what people say. It’s almost like in a little over half an hour I showed you by force that you have no idea what journalism actually is. (Also, showdead folks, flagging this in under a minute just means he won’t know the truth because he doesn’t know where the showdead button is. A TRUE MORAL DILEMMA! Do you vouch me or do you let him publish a falsehood?! DECISIONS DECISIONS! It’s up to you, HN!)
