Thread: Two different versions of this AI-generated image purporting to show President Trump and his assistant Natalie Harp kissing went viral this week, generating millions of views across multiple platforms. Despite being fake, this wasn't a straightforward AI image to debunk. I'll explain why.

theneedlenews.comRetraction: Adam Proffitt is Not Personally Investigating Trans People in BathroomsThe Needle is issuing a voluntary retraction for our article “Kansas' Investigations of Trans People in Bathrooms Personally Overseen by Democrat Appointee Adam Proffitt,” which was published Aug 22. We regret these mistakes.

i don't believe this got enough attention: The Needle issued a retraction to an investigation from two weeks ago, following __EIGHT ERRORS__ that were uncaught before publication the single editor on the story was their "fiction and satire editor" (what the fuck? why?), who has stepped down god

a query to the folks at @theneedlenews.com (including the author, @artemis.theneedlenews.com): who edited this story? why are they not named? and what are the referenced measures to ensure accuracy?

17 Sept

i'm further concerned that the folks at The Needle *have* seen this and *haven't* responded besides (1) using an alt to harass a colleague and friend and (2) the below defense of their satire section on the original story

The Needle@theneedlenews.com

Thanks for the question. Our satire section is clearly marked and separate from straight reporting. The point of The Needle is to build trans news and trans culture and having a dedicated space to both do news and not-news is one of the ways we're working towards that.

almost entirely academic, but: in my view this is state censorship. deputizing private citizens to wield state power doesn't make it not state power being wielded - that's just a default mechanic of fascism. i don't think chilling effects/lawfare/private harassment/etc is the most useful lens here

to take this post from a great thread and extract an only tangentially related discussion from it it's worth noting that what were considered individual mistakes by Times editors in 2004 have proven themselves markers of an institutional flaw hardly addressed by even international news 1/

But after living through a time in which our most respected journalistic outlets credulously helped a dishonest government lie the world into a war that's still smoldering more than a generation later, who can be sure when to trust the papers? www.nytimes.com/2004/05/26/w... 32/

it also means indies, as the radical outlets in the industry, need standards built for the occasion. their ethics are not their forefathers' ethics. and i'm frankly not satisfied with how that's been going every part of the news world is corrupted with some reliance on the state at the moment 8/

but hey. 10 years ago the indie world looked dead in the water, and 20 years ago no one knew what an indie was. perhaps we'll get there soon. perhaps 9/9

By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net

once again: _this is an institutional problem_! it is a problem in how lecturers, and then editors, teach. it is a problem with how newsrooms treat the state and to be frank, i don't know how it can change on a large scale. it might be unable to. these nationals are built on those they killed 6/

what is within reach is the indie landscape, and the local news landscape but that means small-news staffers must accept their aspirations of getting paid a living wage at the Times or NBC are largely fucked. you're either (perhaps unwittingly) a state mouthpiece or you drown 7/

By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net

damn near every local journalist who has covered government reading this post has been told to get the official side and leave it at that. you don't push the spox, you push officials. you're lucky to get a statement at all. you wait for the council meeting. you wait for the community op-eds 4/

(inter)nationally, it's more or less the same. break it into smaller stories. tack a colon onto the end of the hed and attribute it to "authorities." readers want broad strokes. they're probably right anyway for every time a story has been held to question a statement, four haven't been 5/

By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net

we, as journalists, have long recognized a reliance on the state. but to most, it's been waved off as a truth of the job local and regional newsgatherers report police and government accounts before anything else. j-school teaches you official sources are given unquestionable authority 2/

and, after all, a great number of journalists don't dislike that reliance. it's an easy 250-word brief or 90-second package every few days these official accounts are unproblematic to editors at this scale. they're safe sources. and your relationship with them must be strong. so never question! 3/
