LISTEN⏵The shooter wasn’t the biggest evil at the #WHCD last night. That honor belongs to every journalist who thought it was a good idea to be there given the appalling treatment of the press by this rogue Trump regime. What the fuck were you thinking? (Reposts = agreement)

@shoq@mastodon.social I don't necessarily disagree with you, but posting a misattributed quote may not be the best way of singing the praises of good journalism.

@shoq@mastodon.social that he himself has refused to go the last 5 times, but suddenly goes now, out to raise more questions than it is Honestly though as a non-USian that whole organisation/event has *always* seemed wildly weird to me. Like if it were a union that would make sense, but no it's basically a HR department making sure those pesky ‘journalists’ don't bother corporate too much and show appropriate fealty.

@shoq@mastodon.social The supposed journalists in the room were calling him a gunman before any of them had even spoken to any eyewitnesses. The coverage was appalling given who was supposed to be in the room.
