I feel like if you're cleaning up stuff like 'immigrants have bad blood infecting our vital fluids' into 'lifelong interest in genetics' you're doing so knowing what you're doing and knowing that its not at all illuminating as to what was actually said

"Hitler, intent on rebuilding Germany's shattered economy and industry, occasionally veers into fiery rhetoric and nationalism"

Used to be journalists spoke truth to power. Now they help sanitize their messaging.. gross.

arguably crosses the line from unbecoming ignorance and complacency to institutionalized collaboration and complicity

I can’t wait until they make phrenology sound like palaeontology

So many people who have a "lifelong interest in genetics" look like they became interested after realizing their family trees looked like wreaths.

I'm pretty sure that a section on obfuscation by explanation is in the NYT style handbook.

When people are defending the media and the purity of its intentions, you've gotta try to cover something like this too, and you can't, because its egregious, purposefully. There's no other way to view it.
