… is this story about how The Atlantic published a story without even trying to fact-check or corroborate.

It almost doesn’t matter because of how politicized the news in general is. People who are concerned about the Atlantic not living up to journalistic integrity would be aghast that the outing of propaganda came from the Federalist. One unfortunately is negating the other. Do you find this to be the case?
There is a lot of “turning of blind eyes”. A friend who was against racism to blacks and hispanics thinks nothing of being racist to asians. The times at large wrongly dictate a “now it’s our turn to be crazy” as opposed to “now it’s time to truly unify”. Sad times.

The thing here is that when you’re writing exactly what the editors want to read they’re generally not going to ask too many uncomfortable questions….
So, this is what the Atlantic wants – no police.

“There is more than one way to burn a book.
And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.”

It’s so hard to know what to believe anymore. This just solidifies how people lie to further their own agenda. Every day. All the time. No integrity.
