The Vox Doctrine

Media companies are profiting from a crisis they helped create. Vox/Recode dismissed the pandemic, scorned precautions, told you not to wear masks, even attacked philanthrophy!

Now they're setting traffic records.

Need citizen journalism, not corporate media.

Vox: "factual, reliable, clear journalism is more important than ever."

Also Vox: "Is this going to be a deadly pandemic? No."

Vox: "factual, reliable, clear journalism"

Also Vox: "public officials in the area say the virus is contained" https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1228447944287932416

Vox: "factual, reliable, clear journalism"

Also Vox: advises citizens not to buy masks while Vox founder is buying masks. https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1245945961282592768

Vox: "factual, reliable, clear journalism"

Also Vox: "Tech giants have committed to providing 9 million masks. It’s not nearly enough."

Elapsed time from when Vox told you tech was paranoid to the time 40M Californians were put under house arrest: 35 days. https://twitter.com/KyleTibbitts/status/1240825966743547905

Vox & Recode helped cause the greatest crisis in modern US history.

Now they team up with Giridharadas to attack Jack's charity.

Let's be clear, Teddy & Anand's business model is attacking charitable giving.

You get less masks so they get more clicks. https://twitter.com/Jason/status/1247685141654192128

To @ezraklein @mattyglesias @karaswisher, the ethical thing to do would be:

- Retraction
- Resignation
- Donation

Formally retract all false articles, do not delete them. Resign from your posts. And donate 28% of your net worth to help fix the catastrophe you helped create.
