LOVE to see a guy w/ a Twitter bio explicitly opposing "excessive government intervention" write on triage protocols that disproportionately kill disabled, old, poor & racialized people w/o mentioning health funding, adequate housing or protections for workers who can& #39;t distance https://twitter.com/tombrodbeck/status/1247682824888406017">https://twitter.com/tombrodbe...

Look, I know complaints about the stuff a single story doesn& #39;t do are annoying but this story is part of a pattern in COVID coverage and it& #39;s unacceptable, especially when Freep journalists I generally support are asking us to subscribe to the paper in a time of financial need

If you are writing about triage protocols for COVID and you& #39;re not talking to disabled people or looking into the funding and managerial decisions that led to the current level of beds, equipment, and staff, I think you are doing bad journalism, and I need you to do better.

I hear the cries to support local journalism. I do. Local journalism put food on my table growing up. I realise it& #39;s not journo pick & choose. But why should I up my subscription from PAYG, as I& #39;d planned, when disabled people are worth so little we don& #39;t merit quote or comment?
