A little tidbit on the Journo that e-mailed Jersh, specifically omitted 90% of his statement, and wrote the article using @Wayne Beckett as her sole credible source for the entire debacle:

Alia Dastagir has worked at USA TODAY for nearly eight years, beginning on the audience team where she helped drive innovative storytelling and presentation. She transitioned to a full-time reporter role covering cultural issues on topics ranging from sexism and racism to media ethics and mental health.

As expected, her beat is primarily mental health, racism, and sexism. She has no education whatsoever in mental health, and her master's degree is in journalism. Some previous articles by her include:

The imaginary predator in America's transgender bathroom war​

​

Young, transgender and fighting a years-long battle against suicidal thoughts

LGBTQ Definitions every good ally should know​

​

You're sexist. And so am I.​




Thank you Alia, very cool

So in other words, a troon/female version of Onision is trying to take down this site. I get it now.

What's funny is if proof ever comes out Byuu is alive, all these journos will just stop talking about it. None of them will run some story like "Transexual programer faked his death to harm online gossip site." It will just be something else to lie about through omission.

If they do, they'll say "Woman faked her death after failed blackmail scam". Troons are always trans when they're the victims, and women when they're the perps.

Must be weird to be a journalist and to think your latest moral outrage when not trying to cause a race war, is that some weirdo faggot baby fur troon autismo possibly necked himself for being called gay.

I hope journalist kids get raped and killed in race riots in minecraft. Your dumbest teen bussing to some CHAZ equivalent and getting sexually assaulted by some gangbangers would be the karmaitic justice the universe needs.

Keep sowing those seeds. It's only a matter of time all the outrage boil-over hits your gated homes.

You act like they were genuinely talking about it at all. This is a throwaway story nobody will remember the second it slides off the front page. The journalist themselves who wrote it will have long forgotten about it because they threw it together in an afternoon to meet a quota just like they do every week. None of them are beholden to chase their stories once it's on paper, their job is done and they can move on to the next thing and give the etch-a-sketch they call a brain a couple shakes.

As biased as the story is, I think people should honestly admit that outside of this website, this story will be forgotten by the entire consumer-base of the article before they even finish reading it. It will have no lasting impact beyond it's garnering the attention of the twitter mob for a day before their desire for immediate gratification pushed them onto a new target and they will never come back.

I don't know. I'm pretty sure that weepy faggot from Vice who wrote a 3000 word eulogy for Byuu still cries himself to sleep over it every night.

In my country there were floods last week, as some of you might have heard about. A TV-journalist went to one of the devastated villages to do a report, as reporters do. Before she started the report, she took some mud from the ground and smeared it all over her clothes, trying to give the impression that she was active around the area and helped clean stuff up, unaware that somebody nearby was filming with his smartphone. It was all over social media thereafter and she "apologized", the apology really sounding more like that she was sorry that she was caught.

All you really need to know about the big majority of journalists. What the article is about was probably already decided before they even contacted Null. They probably hoped he'd reply with "Sieg Heil" or something, you know, for the narrative.

To sort of present the other side of this, journalism isn't a field without its external pressures. It could also be that they feel the need to take these chances because if they don't, somebody more opportunistic will and will reap dividends for it. I'm not saying that what the journalist in your story did was bad. Quite the contrary, I think it falls to us to provide narratives of how news is collected and presented to keep honest people honest and prevent harmful sensationalism from being as profitable as it is.

Honestly, I don't hate Alia or think she did something unforgivable. It's a sad reflection of the times, but it looks like she did try to uphold what standards there are when she reported on suicide. (And that's something I'm extremely happy for, as somebody who's worked with people who've tragically experienced suicidal thoughts.) But I do hope that she'll understand that I don't see the rancor expressed in this thread as something completely unwarranted, hyperbolic as it may be. It's a serious issue, and I hope that those most responsible will do better, even if we might have to drag some of them kicking and screaming along the way.

All we really wanted was resolution too, proof that what was said to have happened really happened. Instead we got some acepilot manuveuring from the "friend" who did nothing to intervene and only blamed the most convenient party involved.

Why in the honest to god fuck is this still even a thing? Let's say worst case scenario the faggot offed himself. And?? The global population is just shy of 8 billion and I've got bills to pay so I give zero fucks if literally anybody offs themselves.
