Anyway, can somebody explain this to me, the part at the bottom? It represents the views of the editors and publishers, unlike everything else?



as I understand it, it means either

a) the entire newsroom unanimously agrees on a story
b) the chief editor really liked a take, so much that he wanted to brand it the official opinion of the paper, and dissenters' opinions don't matter
c) the chief editor really wanted that particular story written, but it's such a shameful story that no one in the newsroom wanted their name attached to it

I guess add 'opposes doxing of journalists' to the list of reasons why Sarah Jeong is bad, along with 'was mean to a dude who went on Chapo' and 'said white people smell'. If you guys are looking for more bullshit reasons there is a recently restored subreddit you can check out.

Trump used to call Ryan “Boy Scout.” “I thought it was a compliment,” said Ryan, a former altar boy and habitual people-pleaser. But after the Republican-controlled Congress passed a few bills Trump announced to Ryan that he would stop using the nickname. “So I guess he meant it as an insult all along,” the speaker said. “I didn’t realize.” Ryan shrugged.
Amazing.

But are you ready for your taxes to go up a lot and for your premiums and copays to also go up a lot so that rich people don't have to pay any taxes at all and in fact get a cut of the taxes you pay?

its a bigly rough chuckle for someone of jeong's twitter oeuvre to be like "an email is not a contract, sucks for your entire life's work, peace love and chicken grease" and farting off into an NYT column

gently caress it, though. the more people quintessentially american discourse crushes, the greater the catharsis when the chickens come home to roost.

Yeah, it sounds like Wu got burned because she didnt understand how "lovely" vice was compared to a previous interaction by the WSJ. Her best bet was to lawyer up but she couldnt for some reason and the free legal advice given stated that the email exchange was not a binding contract. I'm not sure how courts are handled in China but I'm sure it was not in her favor and she couldnt get anywhere in a US court without a lawyer. So the situation is a little desperate and she tried to dox the vice reporter that burned her and somehow sarah jeong is an attack dog something something. This leads to retaliation by vice and she's put in a more lovely situation. I feel like there's some stuff missing without evidence but that's the whole point of lawyer up and to be revealed by discovery or something.


tldr: she got put in a bad situation and with no good options and somehow jeong is a lovely person idk

Sarah Jeong, like everyone who was voluntarily involved in gamergate, is a mercenary careerist at best, and the irony of saying "well, we never explicitly agreed not to wildly speculate about the sexual habits of an independent woman in tech despite negative consequences she may face" should be palpable to anyone.

the followup email is what she's been losing her mind about enough to coordinate harassment, which is what got her kicked off of patreon



it's legit nuts

and her rebuttal doesn't even try to claim otherwise

quote:

I created a pair of boots with tiny video displays in the sides, the video they play is of me making the boots. And, for a few seconds they flash the address I found for Jason Koebler. In the final video less than 5 seconds. Just showing a little bit. So they will please stop. So they will please listen to me. So they will please ask someone what will happen to me if they are careless.

I emailed the video to Jason (but did not post it) asking him to reply to emails, let me explain the risk. Nothing. He and other Vice employees are always so arrogant, so typical to think he is better than anyone else and can do anything he wants just because someone does not have that magic blue passport that makes him feel so special everywhere in the world Vice goes to damage local lives for a stupid story.

But…I got a little worried. All the Internet info says he lives alone. I’m not posting anything new that anyone who wished him ill does not already know- but would not want to concern a parent. What if he has a relative living in his home? Like all Chinese I love children very much, since we have had so few under the one-child system. I am already twenty-four and I have no baby. So of course I asked- politely to make sure, since this is serious.

Then I posted the video. Of course, no one but Jason even notices the address in the video because it is so fast and so tiny. Vice has expensive lawyers and they convince YouTube to take the video down which was reasonable, and Patreon to terminate my account.
