The WSJ carelessly spread anti-trans misinformation

While I respect in general Wall Street Magazine, From time to time, he sees me to remind me that, in fact, owned by Robert Murdoch. This time, it was printed something near the anti -tdition defamation in the wake of the shooting of Charlie Kerk.

On its direct blog yesterday, magazine He wrote, “The ammunition engraved with transgender and anti -fascist ideology was found within the Venice authorities that are believed to be used to shoot Kirk, according to the internal law enforcement bulletin and a source familiar with the investigation.” This language was echoed in social media publications.

We now know that magazine He had sex with this – the bullets did not have messages, but there was nothing about the transgender people. These reports were slowly demolished and then quickly. Firstly, New York Times He had a source he said WsjInformation contradicts other conclusions. Then, CNN stated that the investigators have just seen some shares on the covers. The last nail in the coffin came from a press conference held by the governor of Utah Spencer Cox, who did not confirm that anything about the converted people appeared on the covers.

The right wing, including members of Congress, offers false claims to blame people who crossed arms violence for years. “The suspect was not arrested by the suspect was not transit). It was a shame that needed to delete a 2022 tweet about the shooting at Uvalde School in which he blamed” an illegal foreign illegal. “(Once again, the perpetrator of the suspected crime was not.

After Kirk’s death, the right wing began loudly to blame the leftists for shooting – everyone from Donald Trump to Florida, MP Anna Polina Luna, to Elon Musk. Journalists have known for decades that initial reports on shootings were often wrong. So, given the history of wrong accusations against converting and left -wing people, magazineThe decision to go with stunningly shaky information was not shocked.

The converted people were attacked from the right to a better part of the contract. Republicans now consider that the intimidation of converted people is a signature issue. Besides the pigeons – which seem to be aimed at criminalizing being mutant in public places – the Republican Party has spent a precious time in its national conference, which is specifically converted by your sheikh. Trans People’s access to health care has been reduced by the Supreme Court. Michigan University Hospital Network has stopped providing sexual organization care for minors after receiving; It is one of at least 21 hospitals to do so. The Federal Trade Committee has also started an investigation into the care of minors.

So this is a wide minority group that has been widely distinguished. Any good journalistic practice may involve accuracy to avoid making things worse. This did not happen in Wall Street Magazine.

This story was later rewritten without correction or editor, according to conditionNews Message on the media industry. condition He asked why. Here is a response from Wsj:

Like any urgent news situation, we update our reports – that we published in the form of a live blog – with new information and more reports as they are available. Our initial report on the internal bulletin was properly attributed. We built it later in the day when we got more reports, and we felt that the additives spoke about themselves. There was no correction added to that original story because it was not considered anything necessary.

Well, a editor has been added now. Fullly here:

Editor’s note: A previous version of this article detailed how the internal law enforcement bulletin said that the ammunition that was recovered after the shooting of Charlie Kerk was engraved with expressions of “transgender and anti -fascist -anti -fascist.” The Ministry of Justice officials later urged to beware of the Alcohol, tobacco office, firearms and explosives newsletter, saying that it may not accurately reflect the messages on ammunition, and the article was updated on Thursday to reflect this. This editor was observed on Friday, September 12, after Uttah Spencer Cox’s governor said that the inscriptions included one saying, “My fascism!” Along with other messages and symbols. There was no indication that the ammunition included any transgender references.

I still have questions about how this happens. Why I did Wsj Run with her half baked report?

I think someone saw a post by Stephen Krauder and felt competition. In yesterday’s publication, Krauder said he had received an e -mail from alcohol, a tobacco officer and firearms containing “a screenshot of what appears to be an internal message”, he wrote. The alleged message contained the following sentence: “All cartridges have formulated a formulation on it, expressing the ideology of transgender and fascism.” Crowder, a professional dicky, is not a completely reliable source-he is a former representative of the child known for reinforcement with the then-worker Fox News, chewing his pregnant wife, violating the policies of hate speech in YouTube, hosting the political comment program Top with Krauder.

Soon after the Krauder Publication, magazine I went directly with its update. Looking at Crowder as a competitor deserves matching is the type of thing that I expect from New York PostOr in fact most of the other exciting leaves of Murdoch, also responsible for Fox News. (You are thinking yet New York Times“Try to compete with Chris Rovo with amazing opposite results, which led them to work as a powerful power force, the serious media will know better). magazine The jewel of the crown is supposed to be in the empire, with real respected reports. Editors and journalists should know better. Wall Street Magazine He ran with his wrong report in an environment where the left was loud loudly to shoot, and where the converted people were constantly stained due to the shooting who did not commit.

As we know now, the bullets actually have messages on them. They included a free mim (“swollen notifications Ou, what is this?” Heldivers 2. This seems more indicating the brain rot on the Internet than any specific ideology. It is puzzled enough that at least it seems that some of Groypers (and also, the musk’s chatbot Grok) believe that the shooter was archers, so he made what you want. the magazine It was identified to the alleged shooting proposal, Tyler Robinson, was just a troubled young man, despite other notes from Cox. Cox said that a relative of Robinson had informed the investigators that Robinson “has become more political in recent years.”

Wall Street Magazine She did not retract her report on transit society, and she did not apologize. I really think it’s Robert Murdoch paper after all.
