@freemo That's a big crowd. I guess so. No doubt there will be heat. But again, it seems like there's a lot of rioting going on over something that appears to be a falsehood. If you are willing to first have another glance and provide quick reactions and feedback to improve it and make it as neutral as possible, I'd be interested. I doubt I can or even should completely shroud my bias, but for that large of an audience, I guess I owe it to them to improve the text as much as I'm able.
@freemo Wired has an article out on this, except that rather than addressing the big question everybody wants to know, they mostly just rebuke the spate of amateurs (like myself I suppose) trying to assemble summaries, often biased, rather than leaving it to the pros, and accusing them of just wanting clicks... Although some people are clearly doing that, and phoning in the analysis, none of the one-liner quick rage mongers are beholden to such rebuke, and the motive critique is hypocritical.
As if the pros don't want clicks? :)
FWIW, over the past year, particularly with regard to the Ukraine war, I've been struck by amateurs doing a much better job at assembling and presenting news than the professionals.
Professional journalism has simply really seemed to go downhill over the last decade or so.
