Here's the New York Times helping the Trump regime normalize murder -- by federal thugs against anyone they decide to kill -- on America's streets.

The modest caveats in the sub-head and story are not remotely sufficient.

Both-sides treatment of obvious murder -- journalistic malpractice.

Correct

#NYTimes , like all traditional journalism, is not equipped to deal with modern disinformation.

Rather than wait for the admin to provide verifiable evidence of activist ties, they obligate themselves to report the lie in good faith.

Propaganda gets distributed and boosted, but at least they can point to their journalistic ethics about "neutrality"

Trump Says America’s Oil Industry Is Cleaner Than Other Countries’. New Data Shows Massive Emissions From Texas Wells.
---

The oil industry touts Texas as a success story in controlling climate-warming methane emissions. The state’s regulator, however, grants nearly every request to burn or vent gas into the atmosphere.

Hey @ProPublica

Please put the #TruthFirst in your headlines.

Example:
Despite what Trump claims, America's oil industry is NOT cleaner than other countries. New Data Shows Massive Emissions From Texas Wells.

Do not just put "Trump Says..." as the lead in to a lie. That's stenography, not journalism.

How to refute a lie without simply amplifying the lie.

Use a Truth Sandwich:
-- First, tell the truth.
-- Then, point the lie and how it diverges from the truth.
-- Repeat the truth and explain the consequences of the difference between the truth and the lie.
