My journalism days were spent slogging through long hours on a small weekly paper. I routinely broke stories because I spent time building community connections.
The "big city" paper would then redo my work and call it their scoop, and local TV would follow suit.
You have had many scoops in the DOGE era, short as it has been, and then I see the WP or WSJ or NYT runs the same story after and acts like they broke it. It's shameful, what these big outlets do.
Prestige institutions often have these kinds of brittle reputation protecting habits and biases. Not rational but you know they’re supposed to be the best and so anything that cuts against it
If the WSJ is too stuck up to give you props, I will FWIW.
Also, the news you reported demonstrates an employment recruiter rule of thumb: if the Musk Rat claims a person is qualified for a job, presume the exact opposite. #TeslaTakedown
The post is full of comments defending you and I just liked a whole bunch of them. Such flagrant disregard for journalistic integrity! These legacy media bozos need to learn their lesson 🙄
