@RustyCrab despite my misgivings with journalists influencers are far worse. Journalists have at least corporate structures and decades of court precedent to somewhat mitigate issues. Grifter accounts are entirely economically dependent on access to sources before journalists to beat them.

The whole freaking of legacy media vs online media was just pure slopulism. Something like the Tim pool Russian payment scandal or the Democrat dark money influencer thing is so much worse then most journalist controversies.

This narrowly applies to politics btw in the new media and tech worlds it’s all just access journalism slop.
