If it makes you feel any better, just remember that this is what their lives have come to. Look at these people for what they are. Old, angry, most likely forced into retiring early, and ignorant. They’ll never change. This is what the rest of their miserable lives will look like. The two of them, sitting around,…

Good. The Richard Spencer/Charles Murray/Breitbart type of racist wants desperately to be cool. Their entire modus operandi is trying to rebrand the image of “racist” from toothless hick into cool pop culture leader. (These guys are all either failed comics, screenwriters, or academics). They want to be Stephen…

Our prof interrupted that kid once and said “Mr. [so-and-so], I’m going to call you ‘Helium Hand’, because your hand must be full of helium, it’s constantly going up!”.

I long for the days where unions and businesses worked together.

Weird. Last I checked, states also have their own rules of evidence! Did they all repeal their rules of evidence?

Eh, I’m so old that I remember when news reporting didn’t include any variation of the word allege. There’s a reason it was added to the reporting lexicon and that reason had a lot to do with racism. News reports were pretty much stating guilt as fact in their crime reports, particularly in cases where minorities were…

In my Mass Media Law class in college, I was taught that “allegedly” is a weak protection, and it’s safer to carefully source allegations and not use that word.

Well, exactly. But I think Diana made that clear. Like said elsewhere, a lot of the reactions here don’t seem based on actually reading the piece.

Holy shit, this is not a complex topic, and yet 90% of the commenters are totally thrown. Diana is NOT advocating for the right to libel people at will. She is arguing that the words “alleged” and “accused” are bad ways to carefully source allegations.

Apparently everyone here can’t tell there’s a difference between not using “allegedly” in favor of stating who said what, and recklessly printing opinions.

Did you actually read the post?

What do you find objectionable about changing

Which decade was that in again?
