One thing I don't like about the New York Times is that they obscure the actual information to force you to rely on their presentation. Why can't they just show the tweet in question and explain why it's wrong?
I'm assuming it's something like the numbers of vaccine complications reports have gone up in objective numbers but not relative to numbers of vaccinations and that could look scary on a graph - or something like that.
But why do I have to guess or search out the information myself? I would think a news article could and should easily incorporate this.
The big problem with this reporting style is that reality could be either Twitter unjustifiably censoring people because they don't like their politics by making harsh rule interpretations, or MTG repeatedly sharing harmful misinformation and deserving a ban. Because the NYT won't actually show information the reader is left not knowing and likely believing an interpretation based on what they thought going in to the article.
