This article doesn't really report on the reporting, just says how some prominent Republicans didn't like one article. I don't see how a rather straightforward news post on the then President's comments makes NPR look petty and partisan, either.
- bavell 5y agoHere is NPR reporting on made up news about the supreme court just two weeks ago: https://youtu.be/PQY7a0z7JqI https://youtu.be/PQY7a0z7JqI
- devindotcom 5y agoThis was addressed by NPR's public editor. It was not "made up." https://www.npr.org/sections/publiceditor/2022/01/20/1074540207/npr-reporting-on-supreme-court-mask-controversy-merits-clarification https://www.npr.org/sections/publiceditor/2022/01/20/1074540...
- devindotcom 5y agoYou may choose to believe the press release. The NPR article is more than the mask anecdote, that is just the intro. The reporter cites sources familiar and her editors stand by the sourcing. I imagine the truth is somewhat messier than the statement that they are "warm colleagues and friends" implies.
- jerkstate 5y agoThis explanation is super weird. > No one has challenged the broader focus of Totenberg's original story, which asserts that the justices in general are not getting along well. The controversy over the anecdotal lead, which was intended to be illustrative, has overwhelmed the uncontested premise of the story. Gorsuch and Sotomayor issued a joint statement that they are warm friends. Doesn’t that challenge the broader focus of the story? How are we supposed to take them seriously unless we want to believe what they’re saying uncritically?
- bavell 5y agoAhhh it was all a big misunderstanding! How convenient for them to not have to accept any blame for sloppy reporting and pushing a narrative.
