Time magazine: “we don’t know how yet, but we’re gonna find a way to link the rise of fascism and avocado toast”
minus-squaretreadful@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up121·1 year agoThe article is largely good quality but what even is this: “We couldn’t destroy the Taliban, but office work destroyed the Taliban,” said one Tiktoker, reviewing articles and quotes from the report. It doesn’t even name the person. Just cherry picked some random quip from social media and pasted it into the body.
minus-squareEl Barto@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up63·1 year agoI’ve been hating this since Twitter became a thing. I used to read BBC news articles for (seemingly) good quality reporting, and then they started quoting random twitter users. Like, who gives a fuck?
minus-squarebedrooms@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up11·edit-21 year agoHell, there are even news articles only quoting Tweets. And TV shows only re-streaming viral YT videos. I imagine these people just watch YT the whole day and call it work.

minus-squareBadlyDrawnRhino @aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29·1 year agoEditor: The article is great! All we need now is a quote from social media and we can publish. Journalist: We haven’t been able to find anything suitable, everyone thinks this story is satire. Editor: Then just post one yourself and then quote that! But don’t reference your name, that’ll be a dead giveaway.
