Protik Islam-Jakobsson: NYT staff must leak the names of everyone involved in the publication of that piece. Their own credibility is at stake

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.

I did. It’s not a great picture because I took it myself and I’m a little sundrenched. Glad CNN used the bass pic instead. www.instagram.com/p/C7VBAYcPPV...

The don’t vote guy in fact seems to have voted in the last two elections.

I have published hundreds of opinion essays (as well as reported features and other kinds of pieces). But just for opinion essays – and they have always required a certain minimum level of evidence, and sometimes a ton of evidence.

That includes the one piece I wrote for the New York Times. They checked it very carefully. They did a good job. I appreciated the labor.

I don’t fucking get it.
