Surely, this a is sin greater than whatever Newsweek may have committed.
- cbd1984 12y agoYes, out of a few million users, a few committed bad acts. Who the Hell could possibly have seen that coming?
- jgalt212 12y agoThe point is not that there are a few bad apples out there, but that Reddit (and other crowd sourced media) have limited ability to police/prevent such actors and their actions. I posit that the editors of Newsweek and other assorted old media have more control over their reporters both before and after the story is published.
- dasil003 12y agoWait, where did I praise Reddit for their journalism? The entire slam against Newsweek was to liken it to Reddit, so you're just affirming my point.
