What makes this an indicator of journalism in decline?

jeffw OP , 20 days ago to news in Four killed in Kentucky mass shooting before suspect turned gun on himself

The issue is that a lot of the “mass shootings” are not terror incidents like the school shootings we’ve all heard about.

Take the Philly one, for instance. It was covered in my local media and I still don’t quite get what happened. It sounded like a fight miles away ended up in a gunfight in South Philly.

The type of gun violence that really reverberates in the USA is the school shooting type of incident. It’s a lone gunman who has no relation to the victims.

Was talking to my mom, who used to teach middle school, about this. She said it’s par for the course. We weren’t in a rich district but we also weren’t super far from this school. Her administration used to go along with families until there was outside pressure (which almost never happened)

They aren’t allowed, nor is it legal. That’s kinda the point of the article

jeffw OP , 20 days ago to news in These queer farmers and ranchers are boycotting Tractor Supply and want you to join them

This article basically says correlation isn’t causation. It doesn’t mean DEI is bad for business. The article also doesn’t definitively say McKinsey is wrong. Like I said, it’s just saying that you can’t cause profits by forcing diversity (correlation not causation).

The issue is that you can’t change a corporate culture just by making one hire and naming them VP of DEI. Cultural change takes years (and is the subject of a nauseating amount of HBR articles, which illustrates how many companies fail at cultural change).

I won’t stop calling out misogyny just because I’m a mod. You’re stating that all these men are innocent despite mountains of evidence. Maybe instead of defending them until your last breath, you could read about the evidence?

jeffw OP , 20 days ago to technology in Child predators are exploiting kids on OnlyFans despite vows of safety

Really? There’s like 10 examples here of children being abused and your response is to talk about how kids are bad?

jeffw OP , 20 days ago to technology in Child predators are exploiting kids on OnlyFans despite vows of safety

I’ve said this for years as others online have claimed OF is so safe. You don’t know the full story. It is not necessarily a more ethical business model than traditional porn

akshually, round is colloquial, it is a cartridge. But bullet is colloquially used to mean cartridge in some contexts, so…

OJ is innocent, Cosby is innocent… cool

jeffw OP , 21 days ago to news in Salem hikes tour guide fee by 3,000% after surge of witch-enthusiasts flood town

I think it’s more so profiting off the popularity of the tour guides. And maybe the could hire an extra PT staff to process all the applications

jeffw OP , 21 days ago to news in Republicans are already running against Kamala Harris

He just sat down on ABC yesterday, on top of multiple rallies where he’s said just that

The FBI has internal watchdogs

jeffw OP , 21 days ago (edited 21 days ago) to world in Russia forces adult content creator & hook-up app user to help entrap gay men

Doesn’t violate Rule 1 because it was published yesterday. It also talks about things that have happened in the past week. Why are you misrepresenting the article? When we found out that Alito flew flags 2 years ago, should we have deleted all of those articles because it was more than 30 days old? That’s an odd argument but it seems to be what you’re saying, since the article specifies some of these revelations are from the past week.

In terms of Rule 3, you haven’t identified any misinformation. Can you elaborate?

Rule 6 is mostly about off-topic content. If you can identify misinformation, this article might violate 6. But it’s not a meme or anything else referenced in that rule.

jeffw , 21 days ago to world in Rishi Sunak has announced he will step down as the leader of the Conservatives after a historic battering by Labour in the General Election

Except it has nothing to do with vacating Downing St and the transition of power
