How much of a fucking degenerate disgrace of a reporter do you have to be to watch a video of someone being thrown to the floor and handcuffed and describe it as him being "escorted out." @soniarao.bsky.social

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to the Times, but the first video I saw stopped when he was out of the room, and it took further posting of video to see the arrest.
I mean, yeah, but I found it in like 30 seconds, before the Times posted its update. If you're reporting for the most prestigious newspaper in the country you can't be negligently posting lies of omission.
In fairness, @soniarao.bsky.social appears to be a 2024 college graduate who’s a doing a fellowship. But, yeah. When you’re reporting on a fascist takeover, you can’t pull punches like this.
She's writing for the New York Times. She's held to the same standard as anyone else writing for the New York Times. There is no minimum age or experience level which exempts someone from being a stenographer for authoritarians.
Agreed. If she's less than a week into her first job and she has a prestigious fellowship at the NYT right out of school, it will be easy to browbeat her into toeing a line. Her superiors need to either step it up themselves or protect their less experienced employees.
I don't think that's what happened. 1st video I saw only showed him getting manhandled away. I had to find a 2nd source that followed him into the hall a distance before they knocked him down.
Because she posted so early, it's likely she wrote without seeing that. Her colleagues have no excuse.

Who knows if she even saw the video? This is her editor's fault if they let her write breaking news and she blows it.
