Jeff Bezos is a fucking monster. big surprise. /s

Fuck these people all the way down to the ground. And desegregate more schools!

More people need to be reading what’s being written over there. Good to great writing.

Dunno.

You make good points about the definition of journalism and the misunderstanding of journalistic ethics. I still think those ethics are past due for a review.

I think your problem is with the “trust black women” piece. That is YOUR take on it, not mine. My comments were made for the reasons I have stated-not out of some “I’m down with the black prole” idea. Although I AM down with all the prole...

“It’s been a long, loooong time coming, but a change is gonna come...”

I have always taken advantage of any opportunity to work for the destruction of the NRA—Wayne LaPierre and Dana Loesch are raving lunatics and so are the rest of the board and all its members. I would gladly GLADLY contribute to any effort that aims to destroy the NRA. It cannot be reclaimed by sane people. Aren’t…

No, you’re mistaken. I have no quarrel with the form. I decry the ham handed who attempt it. What did Ms Kohn write according to you? A journalistic essay?

Sow’s insistence that she did not say the words Kohn attributed to her. You missed that.

Not according to Aminatou Sow.

It’s a book-length essay. Jayzus.

Susan Sontag...

I would hardly call what Kohn produced “journalism in a non-fiction book.” She’s not that talented. Read Katherine Boo or Rebecca Skloot, Philip Gourevitch, Janet Malcolm...

I’m not talking about letting a subject rephrase a quote. I’m talking about a good reporter getting the quote right, and reaching out to verify it. If there is disagreement then both versions should stand.

Racists like cockroaches. smmfh

LOL why the hate on against courtesy? It’s courteous to be accurate. thppppt.

If you are a journalist, and have doubt about a quote, and still use it, then you are a shitty journalist. Ms Kohn was not producing journalism. She wrote a book-length essay. No excuse not to clear quotes.

Thank you. This judge should be terminated immediately.

My god, my god. All my tears for that family.
