However you feel about her wording in this case, Kara Swisher is definitely a journalist, not a “journalist.”


[flagged]


She wrote this in a casual post on Threads [1], not an article. There’s no attempt to “sensationalize for clicks” here. Journalists don’t have to be in journalist mode all the time when they’re communicating casually.

You seem to have a rather large chip on your shoulder.

Mullenweg brought this on himself. Swisher is just reporting on it. A rush to judgement can be an issue, but that is definitely not the case here.

She said what everyone has been saying for weeks. The wording is also clearly her opinion, nothing hidden there. She also included Mullenweg's post so everyone can read the source.

Are you saying that journalists can never share an opinion? Also, are you trying to argue Mullenweg is only looking bad because of journalists? His own actions and words seem to be doing a pretty good job on their own.

Your comparison between humans and machines is revealing. If you want a soulless computer to tell you what’s going on in the world, talk to Grok or something. Humans have personalities.


People can be multiple things at once as mind blowing as that may seem. They can act in public as a journalist and at the same time have private opinions that they share on social media.

Just as programmers not only “design schedule or plan radio or television programs”, journalism is not just “journaling”

No, being immature does not make you “the bigger man.”


> Honestly, Matt gets my kudos if for no other reason because he's the bigger man (relatively speaking) by engaging in artful trolling instead of plainly undressed insults.

That is a pretty plainly terrible mindset, but one that I don't think is very uncommon.


OK so now I feel it's rather immaterial who of us was right and who was wrong
