This, and a couple of other interactions from the last day or so, indicate that he is pretty widely regarded as a bit of a joke on twitter.Someone already beat Tony to the punch with a red bar

I have a feeling you're not going to get much sleep tonight, Erin. This report is 216 pages long. Took me days to digest.

I can handle it, appreciate the concern though. I don't get much sleep, fighting disinformation is a full time and a half job.
This last response, to me, just oozes a kind of contempt, mixed with pitying dismissal. Almost like he's treating Tony like a mentally deficient child. Most likely prompted largely by that reference to "fighting disinformation."

His "debunk" is still not ready, but all this chest-puffing tells me that the opposite is the case: he is having trouble with this.Also "Good. They're scared." is the ultimate projection.

Just giving everyone an update on my reading of the “WPATH files” - my story is taking quite some time because the amount of factual errors and misrepresentstions are incredibly high in the editorialized section - I am at 110 highlights of such and I’m only halfway through

This is essentially one big “Gish Gallop” where the firehouse of disinformation far exceeds any person’s ability to cover everything. But once a few clear examples are made of how misrepresented they are, it will be very hard to justify anyone relying on them

My advice to any journalist writing: wait and do research. Dig into the claims. Compare what is said in the files vs what is claimed to be said. I’ll have my piece hopefully tonight but I would highly caution anyone from treating it as reliable, it’s worse than the Paul piece.
He is, of course, missing the point entirely. How the editorialised sections compare to the leaked documents in the appendix is only barely relevant. There is no comparison to be made with Pamela Paul - this is a leak, not a NYT opinion piece. The contents of the leaked documents are the point, and what they contain is damning from the pov of any sane person.Erin Reed@ErinInTheMorn 1h
I will also note that mainstream media coverage is light on them, and for good reason - I think most journalists who dig are finding similar
