I thought this argument was a bit overblown: > That quote by Moncrieff is from an earlier source, which they use without crediting, essentially making it look like they did investigative legwork for the piece when really they just copy/pasted from somewhere else. Here’s the exact same quote, published the day before at a much smaller outlet called Eureka Alerts. How does he know that they aren't copying it from the press release? I'm also not sure that disallowing comments is very informative. Small substacks can have intelligent curated comment sections. The comments sections of big newspapers are, as a Daily Telegraph journalist admitted to me, "a painting from Hieronymous Bosch".
