In the linked article, I use an article by @jennamclaughlin.bsky.social at NPR as an example. AltNPS reposted the first several paragraphs of her article with only very slight changes, intended to throw off accusations like this.
![[MCLAUGHLIN:] They've said their unit's overall mission is to review agency data for compliance with the new administration's policies and to cut costs and maximize efficiency. [ALTNPS:] They claimed their mission was to improve efficiency and cut costs.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7f5fdeb4ci3lefmt4zr3m3wg/bafkreih4asfv5qnxxujhnnnaapieloh35qeuei2mffwxaouz5ntof5y2ie@jpeg)

Well too bad. I read them, I like them, NPR is dead thanks to GOP pedophiles, and this seems like world-class nitpicking. What else you got?

"This person who claims to fight cancer keeps going around and beating up kids with cancer!" "Well too bad. I watch them, I like them, the kids will die thanks to cancer, and this seems like world-class nitpicking. What else you got?"

If your opinion is that stealing the work of journalists and passing it off as your own, a hundred times, is no big deal, then I don't know what to tell you. If you want to support journalism, I'd start by unfollowing the unrepentant plagiarists.

And as NPR staff will tell you, they're down, but not out. Now's a great time to donate and support local journalism. bsky.app/profile/lind...

But there's no disguising this. This is the outright theft of a journalist's hard work, stolen and reposted for clout. I've criticized AltNPS for their conspiratorial posts, and their fake spy games. But at their heart, this is what they are: boring, common engagement farmers and thieves.
![[MCLAUGHLIN:] It's possible that the data included sensitive information on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets — data that four labor law experts tell NPR should almost never leave the NLRB and that has nothing to do with making the government more efficient or cutting spending. [ALTNPS:] This wasn’t routine data—it included sensitive information on union strategies, ongoing legal cases, corporate secrets, and even personal details of workers and officials. None of it had anything to do with cutting costs or improving efficiency. It simply wasn’t supposed to leave the NLRB under any circumstance.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7f5fdeb4ci3lefmt4zr3m3wg/bafkreiaihpjt43wloi66u2yecw22thviuojx3lmkdvahzygnxvs554ccwi@jpeg)

At best, grifters and thieves. At worst: Encouraging armchair activism rather than action, which could be horrifically damning.
