Man, I'm not going to explain to you that hiding behind the shield of "journalistic integrity" isn't going to absolve you from the moral imperative to act.

journalism is its own form of activism when its goal is bringing truth to power, and its code of ethics demands that journalists not be involved directly with the story, hope this helps

I think you could probably review Steven’s input for the last several years and disabuse yourself of the notion that what he’s done is too little in some way. Get a grip.

This guy regularly exposes fascists. There's more than one way to act.

Yes. My reporting contributed to the indictment of multiple police officers on brutality charges.

Good! I'm not saying you shouldn't criticize this "boycott". But, perhaps, work toward encouraging a more organized boycott. Perhaps, try couching in a little positivity. Because every time folks ~try~ to get organized, folks love to swarm out and cut down. Which hurts the overall mission.

I will if you stop replying to my gentle criticism of a misguided boycott that is doomed to fail

i do say, i think it is unhelpful to accuse somebody on the front lines fighting this shit (via uncovering truth moreso than lobbing molotovs) of moral cowardice
