The point I’m making is that no matter what you do, a conspiracy theorist is going to twist the narrative to fit their world view.

- generalizations 3y agoWell, the world view in this case is 'the media lies' - and that's correct in this case (though it wasn't intentional).
- vkou 3y agoWhereas the sources spoon-feeding them this attitude are, of course, unimpeachable. (They don't redact, or admit fault.) I generally find that anyone expecting error-free perfection in any subjective field from an entire industry can be safely dismissed as a complete idiot. Intelligent people look at the processes that produce outcomes, not the outcomes. (In this case, the process that produced the outcome was a former DDG employee mailing in an oped of incredibly questionable quality that criticized a DDG competitor, that was eventually pulled. Wired should look into reading op-eds before publishing them.)
