HN is becoming less and less a place where issues are rarely discussed.
The most irrelevant comments always rise to the top and more and more people join in and waffle about nothing.
The interesting point in the article is this one:
"Snopes VP of Editorial and Managing Editor Doreen Marchionni suspended Mikkelson from editorial duties pending “a comprehensive internal investigation.” He remains an officer and a 50% shareholder of the company."
How can the whatever whatever suspend her boss from editorial duties pending a comprehensive internal investigation? Did she clear that with her boss first?
What Covid has proved is that the whole media has become a pack of shills, which is false because they have always been pack of shills, only they were more subtle about it?

From David Mikkelson’s statement (scroll to the bottom): > I have given full authority to our managing editor, Doreen Marchionni, to take any measures needed to address these issues.
- vfclists 5y agoDid she ask the boss for the boss to give her the authority, or did the boss approach her voluntarily and give the authority. So why didn't the boss apply his own authority to himself and announce it to the press? The whole thing is face. Why didn't the boss simply resign himself from the role?
