LMAO. Rather than dig into clearly suspicious behavior, the @SeattleTimes is trying to do a hit piece on @nickshirleyy. The journalists have left the building.

This is bad. @ABC must take responsibility for their failed journalism. Basic journalistic ethics requires it.
A quiet unexplained withdrawal of a false article does not constitute a proper error correction.
@ABC News continues to lie, this time privately to their friends in the press. This was a coordinated influence operation planted by our competition, not "premature publication".
7:01 AM October 7th, story goes live. Within minutes, dozens of high-profile commentators, politicians, and news outlets are sharing it with tens of millions of followers. We immediately contact ABC and demand they correct their false claims - after multiple rounds of refusal, they finally make a single one-word grammar edit. The editors stand by the reporting and insist the false claims are true.
Finally, eight hours after I was forced to call them out publicly, they delete everything. The editors hide all the comments, the author deletes his X account, and the story is completely wiped from their website without any explanation, directly violating SPJ ethics standards and ABC's own internal rules.
ABC is currently running a coverup operation, ignoring all of our requests for correction/retraction while telling their buddies to spread the word that this was nothing more than a CMS publication timeline error.

Today I asked Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson whether she has the leadership skills to last three more years on the job.

As part of his defense of democracy, President @JoeBiden should help save America’s local press system before it’s too late, @BrierDudley writes. st.news/3x4YhzS

A recommendation in my book, @BombardedB, was for government oversight of algorithmic transparency. @BrickDuck
For the third time, @FTC has forced a company to destroy algorithms built with data gathered deceptively. Here's why it's a sign that algorithmic destruction is now a standard way the FTC will penalize companies. @jevanhutson @EPICprivacy @privacyforum

Quick thread:
I want you all to meet Vladimir Bondarenko.
He’s a blogger from Kiev who really hates the Ukrainian government.
He also doesn’t exist, according to Facebook.
He’s an invention of a Russian troll farm targeting Ukraine. His face was made by AI.
