Before I was written about more regularly I never realized how deeply biased some people in media are. Journalists lie then dumb ppl amplify these lies it hurts ur reputation! I’ve written about smear campaigns for years and covered Gamergate but god, it’s so much worse than you could even imagine.

It’s given me so much more empathy for the people I cover who have been victimized by the media. I completely understand now why victims of abuse and smear campaigns don’t speak to reporters.
