Generally shady FTX shit aside, couldn't they have waited <24 hours to see if they would respond within business-hours? Where did journalistic integrity go?
- ratg13 4y agoThis has been in the news for multiple days now, they aren’t responding to anyone.
- rich_sasha 4y agoIt's typical now, for better or worse. They have a story and want to publish, now. But have to ask for comment. So they ask for comment, count to 5 and publish with that disclaimer.
- madeofpalk 4y agoAnd i mean, they are transparent about it.
- michaericalribo 4y agoAnd almost always update the story when they do receive a comment
- chiefalchemist 4y agoThat's too late. First impressions matter. Once a narrative is set and biases established, even facts after the fact don't do well to alter what's already in place.
- duxup 4y agoWhat is the first impression you are thinking of here? I don’t think there is much of any to worry about.
- capableweb 4y agoTransparent about being shit, but what's the value in that? Like if they would write: > The above source was never verified, but we swear we talked with a real person And then call it a day. What kind of journalism is that?
- crhulls 4y agoThey are transparent about it to people in the know. The average person reads this and assumes the target is dodging the interview. Journalists have become activists.
- moomin 4y agoI’m deducing the opposite: journalists have become lazy. Only the activists are putting in the proper legwork these days.
- duxup 4y agoThey didn’t respond to the NYT in another article either. I don’t think they are going to respond.
- cma 4y agoOne technique now when asked for comment is to give the story to a friendlier competitor journalist. Then the one asking for comment gets near zero views because their article gets scooped. Or like Musk, when asked for comment on the horse for hand job scandal, came out as a republican to try and get ahead of it somehow.
