Man, both these people come off as weirdly assholish to me.
I mean, look at the title of the article you posted: "The Comedy Club Owner With a Background Questioning Vaccine Safety- Come with me down a disturbing rabbit hole."
Why would I give a fuck that a comedy club owner is questioning vaccine safety? Last I checked comedy club owners aren't setting medical policy, and it's not like they have the broad reach to influence social policy. People are still allowed to believe whatever the hell they want, even if it's dumb. The "Come with me down a disturbing rabbit hole" subtitle sounds like something from a junior BuzzFeed intern.
- plorg 3y agoThe series started with the author writing about the comedy club owner violating Covid restrictions in NYC, which is a perfectly fine subject for journalism. The article you are looking at is a response to the comedy club guy pissing about the first article and doing the same thing he does in the GP - "no, this guy isn't a journalist, but when I post on Twitter I am and I must not express any beliefs, and for Seth to pretend that I have them and have expressed them is wrong" then proceed to advocate for the thing he said it would be unethical to express a belief about. The tone isn't gentle, but it's perfectly reasonably to then lay out, "well this guy actually had expressed this belief in medical conspiracy theories" and tie that to the original article.
