Yeah. Bad journalism is just bad journalism. Sometimes the criticism can be unfair but sometimes you just published something obviously stupid.

Wearing that as a badge of honor is not the flex you think it is.

quoting nevent1q…h89f

One thing plaguing American media is a sizable portion of editors at prestigious outlets think a bad piece with a bad argument that gets a lot of criticism is a good thing.

It’s getting attention!
It shows the publication isn’t biased!

Publishing bad work that’s poorly received makes them proud.
