Reply to comment by fsr1967 in The FBI raided a notable journalist's home. Rolling Stone didn't tell readers why by SellingCoach

That article about campus rapes (for which the accusations turned completely bogus) also badly damaged it.

Yeah basically trying to convince congress that the government is infringing free speech because they are trying to remove misinformation from social media platforms. Absolutely ripe from a guy who’s consistently proved thru out his career not to verify his sources.

Yeah, because he was Musk's hand-picked "twitter files" guy who was tweeting about the Dem-led federal government or Dem politicians asking Twitter to take down misinformation, while actively avoiding talking about the pre-2020 Trump administration or Republican politicians making similar requests.

Guy was previously just a run of the mill sensationalist and sometimes acceptable journalist. Now he is totally fine using his name to lend credibility to clearly and obviously partisan actions.
