@JamesSurowiecki @flipforchips @CathyYoung63 @ijbailey @NGrossman81 But again, Ezra podcasts within a journalistic institution, subscribing to very different norms than professional comedians at companies that stream audio. I'm not sure why you imagine that journalistic norms are standard outside of journalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@JamesSurowiecki @flipforchips @CathyYoung63 @ijbailey @NGrossman81 I would guess that Ezra is anomalously careful and responsible. I would also guess that poring over his bygone episodes one could find a guest making a factually inaccurate statement that was never fact checked or corrected, and I can't recall ever hearing a correction. — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki @flipforchips @CathyYoung63 @ijbailey @NGrossman81 You should write a piece against misinformation that applies your preferred standard consistently to all broadcasters and includes Rogan. It would be a huge change for the industry. — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki @flipforchips @CathyYoung63 @ijbailey @NGrossman81 If you want factually accurate information and corrections, you should definitely go to a journalistic publication, not a conversation broadcaster — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@JamesSurowiecki @flipforchips @CathyYoung63 @ijbailey @NGrossman81 Does Marc Maron append corrections? Does Terry Gross? Did Stephen King? Does Stephen Colbert? I could be wrong, maybe someone does, but I can't ever recall running across such a correction, can you? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@JamesSurowiecki @flipforchips @CathyYoung63 @ijbailey @NGrossman81 On one hand, I agree. If I were running the show there I would append corrections to archival episodes. On the other hand, the thing you are complaining about is in fact industry standard. How many conversation podcasts append corrections to archival episodes? Do any? — PolitiTweet.org

@DarylVautour @ijbailey @JamesSurowiecki @CathyYoung63 @NGrossman81 Nope, bad analysis. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@JamesSurowiecki @flipforchips @CathyYoung63 @ijbailey @NGrossman81 If I could pick you or Joe to host a podcast with 9 million listeners I'd pick you because I think your best wrt skeptical questions and pushback would beat his best. But do I think his best is anomalously bad? I do not. — PolitiTweet.org

@KariDotPeters I agree that they have the right to censor the content. — PolitiTweet.org

@clayranck Could you flesh out that argument? — PolitiTweet.org

@KariDotPeters Is NBC the publisher of the 2022 Winter Olympics? — PolitiTweet.org

@KariDotPeters So if I am an auction house that pays for the right to auction off a Picasso, so that folks come to my auction and bid on other stuff, am I the publisher of the Picasso? — PolitiTweet.org

I like @jessesingal's idea of adding a period "corrections show" to the JRE feed. — PolitiTweet.org

@rasmansa @trizzlor I see a difference between a scenario where someone with an exclusive contract at a publication has an article killed that doesn't appear elsewhere versus a scientific paper that does appear online but not in a given journal. Fair? — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @CathyYoung63 @JamesSurowiecki @NGrossman81 Again: if a journalist interviews Donald Trump or Vladamir Putin and pushes back when they offer false claims do you see that as irresponsible? Or is it okay if the interviewee is sufficiently powerful? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@ijbailey @CathyYoung63 @JamesSurowiecki @NGrossman81 Do you think it is irresponsible to interview Donald Trump? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@ijbailey @JamesSurowiecki @CathyYoung63 @NGrossman81 You have erred in your reading comprehension here. I just explained the differences in the two cases. Restating your claim without addressing the substance of my counterclaim leaves us with no way forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@CathyYoung63 @ijbailey @JamesSurowiecki @NGrossman81 So you think it's irresponsible regardless of what Rogan believes? Is an earnest proponent of a wrongheaded view irresponsible if they tried their hardest to do the research? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@ijbailey @JamesSurowiecki @CathyYoung63 @NGrossman81 I haven't said I don't believe that when it comes to Rogan. I do think there's a sharp distinction between what Rogan asserts as factual and what Rogan guests say without endorsement from him. — PolitiTweet.org

@rasmansa I agree that refraining from publishing a paper in a prestigious journal is not suppression. I'm not sure why you erroneously thought otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@rasmansa I used the word "suppressed." You substituted "dismissed." — PolitiTweet.org
