Department store pulls ‘Fake News’ T-shirt after journalist complains on TwitterA US department store says it will remove a “Fake News” T-shirt from sale after a reporter complained on Twitter that it “delegitimises” journalists.
New York-based reporter Allison Kaden from TV station PIX11 tweeted a photo of the offending T-shirt she spotted in a Bloomingdale’s on Sunday afternoon.
“Hey @Bloomingdales, this isn’t funny or fashionable,” she wrote. “It further delegitimizes hard working journalists who bring REAL news to their communities.”
A Pew Research poll in September 2018 found more than two-thirds of Americans believe the media are biased, with that figure rising to 86 per cent among Republicans.

ReplyDeleteJournalists? Where?
All I see are propagandists and no, it isn't just on the left. It's only primarily on the left.
So, if I'm a member of an aggrieved group, I can make a single complaint about something that 'offends' me and have it removed?

What "de-legitimizes" hard working journalists is the absolutely fanatical rush to be "first" on a story (several recent blunders come to mind) rather than "factual" on a story. The t-shirt just reflects the current response in the culture to people who are so worried about ratings and clicks that they forget to actually do research on a sound bite before they publish.
