@jonathanchait Perhaps you are too invested in your fight with your online enemies to see it, but here we have two stories, one published with basic journalistic standards, and the other published as an uncorroborated account with no vetting, and your skeptic’s eye is zeroed in on the former. — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait Even if this voice is the “tentpole” witness on whose back the entire edifice rests, even if the other parental voices represent a divide among the patients, this is still a stronger story than Reed’s which was offered with no corroboration or evidence. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@jonathanchait Noting that activist ties of one of the voices does not presumptively undermine the claims if those claims are *corroborated by other voices!* Which they are! And again, the level of corroboration obtained by the Post-Dispatch dwarfs the zero corroboration provided by Reed. — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait I read the response, you don’t have to spam the link. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@jonathanchait And if that constitutes a serious credibility problem for the Post-Dispatch story, then by the same standard it is a major credibility problem for Reed’s account, given her connection to activist groups. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@jonathanchait The Post-Dispatch story relied on two dozen parents offering their accounts of treatment at the clinic. That one of those parents is an activist with a connection to the clinic does not create “serious credibility problems” for the story unless theirs was a load-bearing account. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@jonathanchait This seems backwards. Reed’s story was presented with no actual corroboration. And your view is that readers should be more skeptical of the actual journalistic investigation, because one of the sources had an undisclosed connection to the clinic? — PolitiTweet.org

@poorly_hidden i think there is a certain ideological thing happening and it is that those years are conceptualized as a “backlash” which is almost post-political and thus not worth the same kind of analysis — PolitiTweet.org

very odd to read a feature length essay about irregular political violence in the united states and not see any attempt to consider the years of roughly 1868 to 1898, when the political order of an entire region was shaped by irregular political violence https://t.co/cCJGprzVL5 — PolitiTweet.org
