Trolling Is Taking a Toll on Science Journalism
- arrakis2021 4y agoIt’s interesting watch Journalists become a protected class in society. They are always on the side of good and can say whatever they want, but any disagreement with them can be classified as harassment and/or trolling.
- dimensionc132 4y ago"Sadly, online attacks and threats have become the new normal in many newsrooms, with the result being that journalists are subject to a form of mob censorship." The solution by media outlets is "News outlets might respond to harassment with knee-jerk reactions, like disabling comments on stories or taking down the emails of reporters from their website" so .... censorship?! lol.
- h2odragon 4y agoSo we're allowed to disagree with "journalists" as much as we like, but we can't express it directly or publicly or at all I guess.
