As someone who writes a fair amount of public facing articles that are always rigorously fact-checked prior to publication (something I greatly appreciate), I'm always amazed to see how many articles get through the publication process with seemingly no fact-checking at all.
CNN fact checked whether I in fact caught walleye while wearing a specific hat more thoroughly than the NYT checked whether the “I dont vote” guy actually voted.
Hey some guy who looks like a professional plasma donator wants to write a big Independence Day article on why not to vote in the face of permanent Project 2025 autocracy, sure why not, our regular shitty editorialists are all busy writing BIDEN OLD pieces.
