Discussion:
Derek Thompson / @dkthomp: This is just silly. If NPR receiving less than 1% of its revenue from federal government programs makes it “state-affiliated media,” does Tesla accepting a $465m loan from DOE and benefiting from EV consumer subsidies make it “state-affiliated enterprise”? https://twitter.com/...
Sara Fischer / Axios: NPR CEO blasts Twitter for “US state-affiliated media” label
Leila Fadel / @leilafadel: “NPR stands for freedom of speech and holding the powerful accountable. It is unacceptable for Twitter to label us this way. A vigorous, vibrant free press is essential to the health of our democracy.” https://www.npr.org/...
Alice / @alicefromqueens: The NPR thing is dumb but “state-affiliated” isn't a terribly unfair description of a lot of big corps, Tesla among them, Raytheon above all. https://twitter.com/...
Sara Morrison / @saramorrison: if I was a media outlet re-assessing my relationship with Twitter and how something that is now subject to the whims of a moody billionaire shouldn't have become so causally woven into the infrastructure of journalism, I would maybe stop using it as a source. https://twitter.com/...

Dan Gillmor / @dangillmor@mastodon.social: The kindest word I can come up with to describe NPR's response to Musk's visceral demonstration of contempt is — feeble. — But remember, NPR did more than almost any other major news organization to normalize extremism after the 2016 election …
Teresa Berkowitz / @teresaberkowitz: Downloaded the NPR app this afternoon. Here's their story on twitter's state affiliated designation. I have to work on breaking my Twitter habit and routines — at least when it comes to news. https://www.npr.org/...
Tay Buley / @taylorbuley: I would give up that 1% if it caused me so much grief https://twitter.com/...
Bob Hutton / @herecomesdrbob: If npr is “state-affiliated,” it's not because of funding so much as it is stuff like making an official edict (in 2009) that reporters couldn't refer to water-boarding as torture. https://twitter.com/...
Nina Jankowicz / @wiczipedia: I remember when Twitter introduced its state affiliated media policy; I thought it was extremely thoughtful. (It's rare for me to agree with these sorts of policies). Twitter giving NPR the same label as Russian propaganda is factually incorrect. https://www.npr.org/...
Jack Speer / @jackspeer1: As a journalist who works there can I just say, 😯 Respectfully @elonmusk is an idiot.@NPR has 3 sources of revenue, but direct government funding is NOT one of them! I have been in this business more than 35 years and have been “bought"by no one! https://twitter.com/...
@taradublinrocks: Hey @elonmusk what's this"State-Affiliated Media" propaganda on @NPR's profile supposed to mean? It's not up to you to tell your users how to feel about the truth https://help.twitter.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: @TwitterSupport ... In a statement on @Twitter's inaccurate label of @NPRNews, @NPR CEO @JohnLansing pointed out that Twitter's own guidelines for “State-affiliated media” “make it clear” the label does not apply to NPR: “It is unacceptable for Twitter to label us this way.” https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Seth MacFarlane / @sethmacfarlane: [Removes glasses, rubs temples, sighs.] https://www.npr.org/...
David S. Joachim / @davidjoachim: John Lansing, CEO of @NPR: “We were disturbed to see last night that Twitter has labeled NPR as ‘state-affiliated media,’ a description that, per Twitter's own guidelines, does not apply to NPR.” https://variety.com/... @johnlansing @xpangler https://twitter.com/...
Preston Byrne / @prestonjbyrne: Media that's substantially funded by the public sector is state-affiliated. Twitter should slap the label on the BBC, too. https://twitter.com/...
Max Blumenthal / @maxblumenthal: NPR is not state affiliated media. Its US gov't-sponsored staff reliably transmits US gov't talking points about foreign governments the US gov't seek to topple through their own, independent initiative, without any collaboration with the US gov't. https://twitter.com/...
Richard Grenell / @richardgrenell: Everyone knows @npr is US government funded. And if those are the @whca rules then @tamarakeithNPR should not have access if other government affiliated outlets aren't allowed. https://twitter.com/...
Bill Hammond / @nyhammond: Tesla's Solar City subsidiary would be specifically “affiliated” with New York State, whose taxpayers ponied up $950M for its Buffalo factory https://buffalonews.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: NPR has an article complaining that Twitter now characterizes it as “US state-affiliated media.” To prove that they are not, they cite the fact that WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre today “defended NPR's journalism.” Strange choice. https://www.npr.org/... https://twitter.com/...
Chip Goines / @chipgoines: Not to mention Space X receiving billions in NASA & DOD contracts from the gov't. But no one ever calls them a “state-owned aerospace company”. https://twitter.com/...
Nardine Saad / Los Angeles Times: NPR objects to ‘state-affiliated media’ label Twitter slapped on account: ‘inaccurate’
Stephen Fowler / @stphnfwlr: NPR gets ~2% of its money from federal grants, a few million dollars, and it's editorially independent. Also, an outlet like Voice of America is literally US-funded media and has no label. It's not about facts, it's just capitalizing on poor media literacy to prove a point. https://twitter.com/...

David Gura / @davidgura: Yesterday, @elonmusk's Twitter labeled NPR “state-affiliated media,” even though the company's own policy stated the organization shouldn't be labeled as such because it has editorial independence (left). Hours later, Twitter removed the reference to NPR in the policy (right). https://twitter.com/...
Mike Masnick / Techdirt: NPR Was Twitter's Example Of What Should NOT Be Labeled ‘State-Affiliated Media.’ Then Musk Added The Label And Retconned The Policy
Lulu / @lourdesgnavarro: NPR is not state affiliated media. It is public media. The NYT is not propaganda. It is the most robust news organization in the English speaking world. The bias as to who is being targeted on this site by its leadership is so very clear. And it's not a small thing. https://twitter.com/...
Matt Novak / @paleofuture: Elon Musk's Twitter has added a label to NPR listing it as “state-affiliate media,” putting it on par with Russia's RT and China's Xinhua https://www.forbes.com/...
Ben Pauker / @benpauker: Twitter branding @NPR “state-affiliated media” literally conflicts with its own policy: “State-financed media organizations with editorial independence, like the BBC in the UK or NPR in the US for example, are not defined as state-affiliated media...” 🤯 https://help.twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Sherrilyn Ifill / @sifill_: This is an absolute disgrace and slander. Musk grows more authoritarian by the day. https://twitter.com/...
Anthony DeRosa / @anthony: Labeling @NPR as “state affiliated media” doesn't even follow Twitter's own guidelines. https://twitter.com/...
@emptywheel: .@mmasnick busts Twitter for changing their state affiliated media account policy only AFTER labeling NPR as one. https://www.techdirt.com/...
Alex Griswold / @hashtaggriswold: Twitter appears to have seen this tweet and responded by editing its guidelines to omit NPR https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Ben Pauker / @benpauker: Twitter edited and removed @NPR from its policy as an example of an editorially independent “state-affiliated” media organization. By now tagging NPR as such “Twitter will not recommend or amplify accounts or their Tweets with these labels to people.” https://help.twitter.com/...
Martin Austermuhle / @maustermuhle: NPR is no more “state-affiliated media” than Tesla is a state-affiliated car company because it has accepted government subsidies. https://twitter.com/...
Abby D. Phillip / @abbydphillip: This is very problematic and as others have pointed out, goes against even Twitter's guidelines on this. https://twitter.com/...
@althomelandsec: If @NPR is state-affiliated media, Twitter is also a state-affiliated media company. https://twitter.com/...
Helen Kennedy / @helenkennedy: Musk had to change Twitter's own guidelines to slap a state media label on NPR. His petty war on respected outlets that don't lionize him continues after he stripped the NYT of verification. https://twitter.com/...
@niemanlab: “US state-funded rockets” “US state-subsidized automaker” “US state-funded digger” https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Caitlin Johnstone / @caitoz: This is true it has been Twitter's policy not to label NPR “state-affiliated media”, but that policy was always stupid for the reasons outlined above. Anyway Twitter has now edited that policy, while hilariously still claiming the BBC is not state media. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Nicholas Grossman / @ngrossman81: Labeling NPR “state-affiliate media” is dumb, even dumber to change Twitter's rules to do it—too low a percentage of NPR's funding is from govt—and the effect will be weakening the label for actual propaganda outlets. But it's in private-company-makes-its-own- policies territory. https://twitter.com/...
Andy Boreham / @andybxxx: NPR, like other US state-affiliated media, completely ignored Nord Stream after it was blown up in an act of war, all at the behest of their masters in Washington. And people are still arguing they have “editorial independence.” https://twitter.com/...
Ryan Haas / @ryanjhaas: People with political brain worms are frequently mad that public media is actually funded overwhelmingly by local communities and not massive corporations.

Rat King / @mikeisaac: good @mmasnick on T&S policies at Twitter pre vs post acquisition https://www.techdirt.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: As @mmasnick notes, Musk abused his power “to arbitrarily ignore @Twitter's own rules so that he can do one of his stupid jokes, smugly insisting that @NPR is no different than, say, Chinese state-affiliated media” & then retroactively changed the @policy https://www.techdirt.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Parker / @pt: I'm skeptical people are really going to start assuming RT is on the level of NPR, but I do hope whatever mind virus Elon has contracted is curable, because the chaos he's continually introducing to this website is not enjoyable. https://twitter.com/...
Laura Rozen / @lrozen: As a friend notes, Musk takes way more US government money than NPR does. https://twitter.com/...
David W. Eastburn / @davidweastburn: @DefenseBaron ... I'll just put this right here... https://twitter.com/...
Luke Zaleski / @zaleskiluke: The level of uniform gaslighting, rewriting of history, and blanketing of social media we're enduring currently from republicans and musk is unprecedented in the modern world. Mao would be impressed. They are manufacturing a fake reality built of pure propaganda and conspiracies. https://twitter.com/...
Kaivan Shroff / @kaivanshroff: Truly insane. Elon Musk's Twitter has labeled NPR as “state-affiliated media” a label it places on Chinese/Russian propaganda outlets. NPR gets less than 1% of its funding from the federal government and it's content is in no way controlled by the government. https://twitter.com/...
Kevin Baron / @defensebaron: Proof Elon Musk is pushing his agenda? @NPR gets labeled “state-affiliated media” which is bogus. @starsandstripes, which is actually owned by the US government, is ignored. https://twitter.com/...
@davidrlurie: @NPR may have a cause of action for defamation here. Twitter is assigning a designation to NPR that it knows, and indeed until yesterday acknowledged to be, false. As Twitter knows, however, media companies are loath to bring such suits. https://twitter.com/...
Kevin Collier / @kevincollier: When Facebook and Twitter brought out state-affiliated media tags, they did a great job defining it: when an outlet's editorial control comes from a state. That's RT, Sputnik, China Daily. Not NPR. This equates democratic-funded reporting with literal authoritarian propaganda. https://twitter.com/...

Brian Klaas / @brianklaas: Is Musk doing this because Russia/China complain their state media outlets get this label (because they're editorially controlled by despots)? I don't know, but these are the issues that come up when a Russia apologist billionaire with economic interests in China is in charge. https://twitter.com/...
Jonathan H. Adler / @jadler1969: Funding numbers aren't quite right, but this decision by Twitter is indefensible. https://twitter.com/...
Pete Strzok / @petestrzok: Btw, here's Twitter's definition of “state affiliated media.” Note the emphasis on editorial independence. If the BBC isn't “state-affiliated media,” I don't see how you can argue NPR is. https://help.twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Pete Strzok / @petestrzok: This not only harms NPR, it helps state-owned propaganda outlets around the world. NPR is demonstrably unlike RT or Xinhua - but like-labeling confers its legitimacy to them. https://twitter.com/...
Lance Ulanoff / @lanceulanoff: I don't get this. @NPR is no more “US-state affiliated” than, say, @PBS, which does not have that label. PBS gets some (not much, always falling) gov't funding. NPR doesn't even get direct funding (some small indirect). https://twitter.com/...
A.J. Delgado / @ajdelgado13: Disgusting. What a clown. https://twitter.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: Under Musk, @NPRNews has been falsely labeled as state-affiliated media. (No government entity has control of @NPR, @TwitterSupport.) Tweeting insults, suspending journalists, unverifying @nytimes, & now adding a false label to NPR shows a much deeper animus towards the press. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Tim Culpan / @tculpan: Over the past three years, @tesla received over $200 million in government grants That's ~10x what @npr received So, State-affiliation is in the eye of the beholder? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://twitter.com/...
Doug Saunders / @dougsaunders: Under this logic, Tesla would have to be labelled a “state-affiliated car company” in its tweets https://twitter.com/...
Ishaan Tharoor / @ishaantharoor: 90 percent of the reason why Elon Musk spent $44 billion to takeover Twitter was to do precisely these sort of things, grinding the ideological axe of his authoritarian-curious tech libertarian friends and their far-right followers https://twitter.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: Musk's anti-media animus made labeling worse. @NPR is an independent nonprofit news outlet: https://www.npr.org/... @NPRNews is not “state media.” @VOANews IS — but VOA accounts are not labeled. Adding this label to NPR is capricious, biased, & wrong: https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Muna / @muna_mire: Again, this is a direct result of legacy media giving credence and cover to the right. At this point you're doing a disservice to your readers and your own brand under the auspices of objectivity https://twitter.com/...
Britney Nguyen / Insider: Twitter labeled NPR as a ‘state-affiliated media’ and scrubbed its name from a policy page that contradicted the move
Michaël Jarjour / @derjarjour: Labeling NPR the same as RT is dangerous and misleading. There are a few people at Twitter left who know this and I hope they speak up. https://twitter.com/...
Matt Holt / @mattholt33: The actual state-sponsored US media organization doesn't have the same marking as NPR. It's just so transparent what Elon is doing here and it's garbage https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Philipp Markolin / @philippmarkolin: These are the subtle (and not do subtle) changes you expect to see from an anti-democratic platform.

Erin Hale / @erinhale: State-affiliated media is not the same thing as publicly funded media. NPR, AFP, BBC, PBS all get funding from their governments but maintain editorial independence. https://twitter.com/...
Don Moynihan / @donmoyn: BBC gets about 70% of its funding from the government (via license fees), NPR gets about 1-2%. Former is not listed as state-affiliate media, but NPR is. Along with deverifying NY Times, illustrates how Musk is the one running a propaganda outfit to fit with his political views. https://twitter.com/...

Jon Brodkin / Ars Technica: Musk expands feud with media by labeling NPR Twitter account “state-affiliated”
Josh Sternberg / @joshsternberg@mstdn.social: “You know, like China Cyberspace, the magazine run by the chief internet censorship agency in China, which Musk penned a column for. Because Musk seems to have no problem with actual state-affiliated media that works in his personal interests …
Matt Novak / @paleofuture: Twitter's own guidelines previously explained NPR didn't get a label because it had editorial independence from the government. https://twitter.com/...
Melissa Chan / @melissakchan: Twitter labeling NPR “state-affiliated media” is terrible false equivalence to propaganda outlets like China's Xinhua or Russia Today. NPR gets ~1-2% funding f/ the federal government and has editorial independence. Xinhua denies a war in Ukraine and detention camps in Xinjiang.
Matt Novak / @paleofuture: But those guidelines were changed at some point Tuesday, scrapping NPR as an example. https://twitter.com/...

@sleepyoktobur: I have reinstalled Twitter to respond to this story and make sure my voice is fully heard. I am Casey. My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press's story. https://twitter.com/...
Kat Tenbarge / @kattenbarge: As a journalist who often writes about teenagers — and can only print a sensitive interview with a minor with their parent's consent — if I had a parent tell me the story of their child's identity without including, let alone consulting, their child, that would be a red flag.
Bari Weiss / @bariweiss: Caroline was told that a puberty blocker would relieve her child's psychological distress. That's not what happened. More reporting from inside Washington University's Transgender Center by @EmilyYoffe : https://www.thefp.com/...
@sleepyoktobur: Upon interviewing Emily Yoffe myself I was told that I had no say in whether or not the article was published. I asked if my consent was required to publish the article and the reporter told me, “that's not how these things work.”
Tricia Crimmins / The Daily Dot: EXCLUSIVE: ‘This is my story, not hers’: Teen says anti-trans article about their puberty blockers got facts wrong
Tim Fullerton / @timfullerton: The child of this mother has refuted most of this story - saying some are lies & others are out of context. Kind of weird that everything Bari does seems to have a lack of journalistic integrity. Guess that's what happens when you have an agenda and narrative you want to push. https://twitter.com/...
Josh Hawley / @hawleymo: A stunning, sickening new report on the Wash U transgender center. We must get the truth. And there must be accountability https://twitter.com/...
Michele Munz / @michelemunz: This isn't journalism. This isn't reporting. The father wasn't interviewed. The teen did not corroborate their mom's statements. Only one anti-trans activist org that pushes misinformation was quoted. You mischaracterized stories by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. https://twitter.com/...
@xoxogossipgita: I had to issue a full correction, including a note in the headline, because I misidentified what parts of the UK the Pokémon game based on the country was supposed to resemble in a post about Pokémon memes. And these people just print lies about children! https://twitter.com/...
@sleepyoktobur: Speaking of mental health, the article claims that my mental health issues can be attributed to the Supprelin implant, however, my personal experience shows that this is not the case. Since Covid-19, my mental health has been declining, and it was already an issue.
@xoxogossipgita: Gamers will literally send you death threats for not knowing video game marginalia and Bari Weiss's newspaper prints articles about minors without their permission. Wild!

Aaron Bady / @zunguzungu: My expectations for Bari Weiss's journalism was pretty low, but the way Emily Yoffe just decided not to include the 16 year old kid's statement that their mother's account of the the 16 year old kid's experience was wrong, um, that's fucking insane and unethical?
@chrisgeidner: I am so angry right now. That a teen is having to defend themself against the harm that Bari Weiss has decided, along with so many others, to unleash upon young people who are just trying to find some peace in this world. You should all be ashamed.
Matt Lech / @mattlech: Bari Weiss and this whole crew are just inputs into this type of product. Simulated, controlled muckraking made to measure for GOP campaign propaganda. https://twitter.com/...
@allezlesboulez: so the official Bari Weiss newsletter style guide is to misgender someone if their parent asks? https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Noah Berlatsky / @nberlat: It sounds like emily yoffe and bari weiss deliberately set out to help a transphobic parent bully her child and deny that child medical care. this is not how ethical journalists operate. they also appear to have concealed the child's dissent from their narrative.
@mobute: I kinda admire Bari Weiss. She said, “Screw you, mainstream media. I'm going to make my own publication and run MY kind of stories: unremarkable, uninformed, unethical, fundamentally fraudulent, or some combination of those,” and by God she did it.
Broti Gupta / @brotigupta: it's pathetic and so disgustingly hypocritical (what? bari weiss? no!) to see HOW MUCH the right wing “protect our children” crusaders are willing to risk trans kids' lives for their own transphobic agendas. emily yoffe and bari weiss should be so deeply ashamed of themselves https://twitter.com/...
Gary Legum / @garylegum: What a fucking nightmare this is now getting played out publicly, congrats to Bari Weiss and Emily Yoffe on another ethically upstanding job. https://twitter.com/...
Ashton Pittman / @ashtonpittman: You can't blame Substack for Bari Weiss. She was allowed to spread her poison at the New York Times for years. She's a product of the mainstream media establishment, not some rogue aberration of unethical journalism. She may seem even worse now, but it was always there.
@samthielman: I wonder if the @nytimes will see fit to stop assigning stories that follow Bari Weiss's reporting-shaped posts on her Substack now that vulnerable marginalized people are risking substantial harm to refute her endless mischaracterizations and elisions https://twitter.com/...
Erik Baker / @erikmbaker: It's interesting how years ago, when Bari Weiss and Emily Yoffe were still pretending to be reputable mainstream journalists, leftists claimed that they were profoundly evil people with profoundly evil intentions, and then that ended up being true. Not sure what to make of that
Ari Drennen / @aridrennen: Bari Weiss and Emily Yoffe pushed out a story claiming that puberty blockers provided by a Missouri gender clinic failed to relive a trans teenager's distress. The trans teenager in question says the story (which misgendered them throughout) was false https://www.dailydot.com/...
Moira Donegan / @moiradonegan: Exploiting a teenager's mental health struggles to further a biased agenda, and then profiting off of the ensuing family dysfunction that plays out in public and gets salacious clicks ... Bari Weiss has kept her elite imprimatur of respectability, but this is Jerry Springer stuff. https://twitter.com/...
Caroline Miller / @carolinerose79: @stokely_i @SleepyOktobur A reporter contacted me about my experience, after I had contacted an attorney. I gave an interview, she wrote a first draft, which I sent to Alex. There were things they wanted to address, so we all sat in a Zoom call - Emily, myself, and Alex - before it went to press.

Owen Jones / @owenjones84: This devastating thread speaks to two truths: - The media are whipping up an anti-trans moral panic based on lies and distortions - Parents do not always know what is best for their children - and in some cases, the absolute opposite. https://twitter.com/...
Aaron Sibarium / @aaronsibarium: The thread—by someone with a vested interest in debunking the story—ends up corroborating the most important things in it, including the child's decline in mental health and the doctors' minatory invocation of suicide. https://twitter.com/...
Christopher Wiggins / Advocate: Mom's Interview With Anti-Trans Media Draws Criticism After Teen Responds
Heidi N. Moore / @moorehn: This is true and it's really revealing of how B a r i, T a i b b i etc really exploit their positions as pundits to completely evade the ethics of journalism. Being a trumped-up (literally) propagandist tends to confer journalistic credibility where reporting doesn't exist. https://twitter.com/...
@sorayamcdonald: @SleepyOktobur I'm so sorry for everything you've been through, but especially the part that is simply because of journalists with shoddy ethics who did not listen to you and your attempts to communicate the truth to them. They do not represent our profession.
Sunny Moraine / @dynamicsymmetry: Simultaneously absolutely buck wild and totally unsurprising that the actual mom replied to this thread with, basically, “I am uncomfortable when we are not about me?” https://twitter.com/...
Nathan J Robinson / @nathanjrobinson: One thing you'll notice about the transphobic pseudo-journalism fueling our present moral panic is that it rarely quotes the actual trans teens who are being discussed. This is almost certainly because their own view of events would be very different to their parents'. https://twitter.com/...
@sleepyoktobur: Dear Diary, Today, I successfully ratio'd Bari Weiss. It was terrifying and I was at risk of a lot of backlash. However, the fact that it happened is hilarious. I'm glad I got to share the real story, and I won't let anyone talk over me ever. Signed, Alex.
Felicia Sonmez / @feliciasonmez: Emily Yoffe has a history of unethical professional behavior, and her actions have caused significant harm. I am sad angry to see that has done so once again. You should not have had to go through this, @SleepyOktobur. 1/ https://twitter.com/...
@sleepyoktobur: About a week ago my mom contacted @EmilyYoffe without my knowledge and told her what was supposed to be our story. She expressed her frustration with the transgender clinic at Washington University, many of which are false perceptions that my mom has about the doctors and clinic.
Emily Yoffe / The Free Press: ‘I Felt Bullied’: Mother of Child Treated at Transgender Center Speaks Out
Benjamin Ryan / @benryanwriter: @aaronsibarium I have no vested interest in debunking the story. The question is one of journalistic ethics and of observing the wishes of a child not to have their personal life broadcast against their wishes.

Noah Kulwin / @nkulw: This is so egregious because journalists are not supposed to show fucking drafts of their pieces to subjects of the article. Running quotes by people is fine, so is showing them sections for clarity, but sending a draft is something I literally got yelled at for when I was 21 https://twitter.com/...
Jenny Hamilton / @readingtheend: quite apart from all the other reasons I want to stomp on Emily Yoffe's head tonight, I read her terrible piece and she's just... straight-up lying about trans suicide rates. https://twitter.com/...
@loeybug: Holy shit. The lack of journalistic integrity here is astounding. Talking about a trans minor's medical history, without their consent, and publishing total lies despite being told that they are lies. This is a child you fucking ghouls. @EmilyYoffe @TheFP @bariweiss https://twitter.com/...
Benjamin Ryan / @benryanwriter: The ethics of writing about children, in particular about their mental health and medical histories, are much more intense, y'all. https://twitter.com/...
@sleepyoktobur: I learned of this article through my mom over the phone when she asked if it was okay that @TheFP published the article. I said that I wanted to read it first. When I read the draft I was disgusted with what the reporter and my mom had made my experience out to be.
@avishaiw: Now that I've taken the time to read the article Alex is correcting... blehhh Bari Weiss is an unethical journalist, huh. Cherry-picking accounts to bolster her preferred narrative, excluding the perspective of the true center of the story, all while misgendering from start to end https://twitter.com/...
Benjamin Ryan / @benryanwriter: The Free Press also appears to consistently misgender “Casey”, whose pronouns in their Twitter bio are she/they, referring to the child as he/him throughout. @SleepyOktobur https://twitter.com/...
@jbouie: if confirmed this is a pretty egregious breach of journalistic ethics but then we know that weiss is basically just running a propaganda rag https://twitter.com/...
Laura Bassett / @lebassett: You may have seen the viral story Bari Weiss' “Free Press” published about a trans teen's mom regretting approving their puberty blockers. The teen has spoken out and said the story is full of misinformation and lacks their very different perspective: https://jezebel.com/...
Benjamin Ryan / @benryanwriter: The child whose treatment at the Washington University Transgender Clinic was just covered in @BariWeiss' The Free Press by @EmilyYoffe, excoriates the article.

Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life: Here's some crazy 💩 a chatbot said still doing numbers for the tech press as the go to low effort but high clickbait story template. It's totally ousted the former top performing story format of here's some content a social media app didn't ban. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

Paris Marx / @parismarx: even more reason to challenge the tech companies' claims that generative AI is the future, that chatbots will replace search, and that we can trust this tech. it's always move fast and break things to have a quick boom and cash in before people realize what they're doing. https://twitter.com/...

James Frye / @jamesfrye: Once again: The AI chatbots do not “look up” facts. They generate words that the model thinks belong together to give a viable looking response to the prompt.

Arvind Narayanan / @random_walker: Automated defamation by chatbots is, obviously, bad.

Dan Nguyen / @dancow: I've been slow on the uptake for AI, but I've felt like I'm going crazy by how quickly the mainstream has deemed ChatGPT & Bing as authoritative or “better than” google/libraries.

@badastronomer: I'm part of the beta testing for this, and I like it! Think of it as an in-house Twitter for Substack. You autofollow writers you're subscribed to, and can opt-in to follow a bigger group of Substackers, too. Nice way to generate community! Should be rolled out soon. https://twitter.com/...

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein / @ibjiyongi: NEW TWITTER JUST DROPPED @SubstackInc! https://on.substack.com/...
@martyrmade: A while back, the Substack folks asked me what I'd like to see on the platform. I told them I missed the good ol' days of message boards, and I wanted tools to community-build, and not just post content. It so happened they were already working on that question. https://twitter.com/...
Anthony DeRosa / @anthony: Substack is also smart enough to realize that Twitter is actively trying to drive the people who have provided the most value to Twitter over the past 15+ years and actively trying to court them and provide a way to monetize that value they're adding.
Arpit Gupta / @arpitrage: Wait is this just Twitter https://twitter.com/...
@byjudedoyle: This is great, because there's no way I'd stay on a Twitter being run by misinformation-spreading transpho — OH NO https://twitter.com/...

Fred Oliveira / @f: I am not Substack's biggest fan (a silo for people's writing, and clinging to the newsletter model makes for a confusing UX). But I'll promptly admit — this is interesting. There's a bunch of people I follow on Substack and a feed of their thoughts would probably be high quality. https://twitter.com/...

Emily Atkin / @emorwee: Not mad at this new Substack feature at all.

If this allows me to do that w/o having to rebuild my audience from scratch, I'm in https://twitter.com/...

Emily Oster / @profemilyoster: Substack Notes!! This looks cool and I'm excited to try it. Have been so grateful for all the @SubstackInc support for ParentData — love them. https://on.substack.com/...
Hamish McKenzie / @hamishmckenzie: Just to be clear. No one will have to pay for Substack Notes. The monetization happens a layer down. The goal is to get people to pay to subscribe to writers' publications... not to pay for Substack. Give writers the money! https://twitter.com/...
Parker Molloy / @parkermolloy: I've been testing Notes, and I think it's got a lot of promise. And with Twitter inventing new rules every day and changing things without notice/reason, I'm glad to see Substack expanding into more social-y spaces. https://twitter.com/...

Moore / @moorehn: This is an important read bc misogyny in newsrooms is so rarely pointed out or discussed, and also let me add: Variety's ad-sales team maybe consists of sociopaths, bc there are so many pop-ups and videos and scrolling traps that the page is unreadable. https://variety.com/...
Madison Gesiotto Gilbert / @madisongesiotto: He's always been the absolute worst https://variety.com/...
Ola Ojewumi / @olas_truth: Unsurprising. We don't address the misogyny of gay men and assume since many of them have been maligned for being feminine that, they'd empathize with women or be understanding of how sexism affects us. They're still men and are vested in keeping their male privilege. https://twitter.com/...
Meghan McCain / @meghanmccain: .@KyraPhillips is a mentor, a friend, a sister to me... One of the greatest, most supportive women in all of media. She has been a rock and to me and so many other countless women. If any of these insane allegations are true about Don Lemon - I can't express how repulsed I am. https://twitter.com/...
Tatiana Siegel / @tatianasiegel27: Don Lemon's recent take that Nikki Haley “isn't in her prime” wasn't an isolated event. Troubling behavior w/ female colleagues goes back nearly 2 decades. My latest. https://variety.com/... via @variety
@fugitivemama: “..she received the first of two threatening text messages from an unknown number on her flip phone that warned, 'Now you've crossed the line, and you're going to pay for it.' Remarkably, the texts were traced back to Lemon.” Don Lemon is a psychopath not just a misogynist. https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Kerr / @andrewkerrnc: Don Lemon reportedly threatened his colleague with an anonymous phone number in 2008 because he was jealous CNN sent her on assignment in Iraq. https://variety.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Kenneth P. Vogel / @kenvogel: This feels like a manifestation of the adage about being nice to people on your way up, because you will see them again on your way down. https://variety.com/...
Shannon Watts / @shannonrwatts: According to Variety, Don Lemon's troubling treatment of women and unprofessional antics date back nearly two decades - including sending anonymous, threatening texts to co-anchors. https://variety.com/...
Will Sommer / @willsommer: Wild story about Don Lemon here, including Lemon allegedly texting a colleague: “Now you've crossed the line, and you're going to pay for it.” https://variety.com/...
Alex Griswold / @hashtaggriswold: idk what Don Lemon did, but this punishment seems excessive https://variety.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Erick Erickson / @ewerickson: The knives are out for Don Lemon at CNN. This reads like a precipitating event for his departure. https://variety.com/...
Jacob Silverman / @silvermanjacob: In this article about Don Lemon being a misogynistic jerk and bad coworker, there is not one mention of any distinctive talent or journalistic accomplishment. He apparently is good at making friends with executives. https://variety.com/...
@a_newsman: Your periodic reminder that CNN banned @mkhammer from appearing on air after she made a joke about Jeffrey Toobin exposing himself on a zoom call. All the while protecting @donlemon. Not a single journalist at the network like @jaketapper has defended her or criticized Lemon. https://twitter.com/...
