So they made it the fuck up lol

Look at my "journalists" bro

it's a sign of awful times that mis/disinformation like this spreads exponentially faster than any correction or redaction ever could.

for countless people, the cat is out of the bag regarding the shooter's "trans ideology", left-wing views, etc., and many of them will deny any and all information that disproves it.

and for the same reasons that this malpractice is particularly harmful, these journalists, talking heads, and outlets face little to no repercussion.

If there's profit sharing from clicks, then they even financially benefit from it. This shit was spread millions of times across conservative media.

Media rushing to publish false information (especially when it harms non fascists), and then quietly pushing a retraction after the fact?

I'm shocked

By tomorrow it will have been revealed that Tyler Robinson is a Varg style neo nazi, then it will be revealed he was in the DSA and was starting to question their gender presentation, then that will be retracted and it will turn out that he's a Japanese nationalist, then a Ukraine guy, then a fanatical Zionist, then a Portuguese imperialist larper...

eventually it'll be handed over to the physicists who'll determine that he's a wave-function in hilbert space and that's just how he is

Lol after the fact: Oh shit you said Tyler? I thought you asked about Skylar. No, Tyler is a fucking fascist.

The TERFdian never misses an opportunity to blame everything on the leftists.

I've said it for over 20 years: most insidious paper in Britain.
