@mtaibbi You became a grifter who would provide propaganda to the highest bidder. Russia Today,etc. Little difference between you now and Tim Pool or Dave Rubin. 🤔

I’m sorry, but while I don’t love banning the AP, journalists who whine about losing credentials are pussies. I came up in independent journalism and was constantly denied credentials and managed just fine. Hustle, don’t whine

@mtaibbi Meanwhile Trump banned the Associated Press from the White House and Vance talks about free speech. 🤣

The statement by @Barack_McBush constitutes public discourse as it engages in a debate about journalistic integrity and accusations of being influenced by financial incentives, which are public issues. The tone is defensive, aiming to refute an accusation of being a 'grifter' providing propaganda for money.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but is part of a heated exchange, which could contribute to a negative tone in public discourse.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in cyberbullying or hate speech, but it is part of a conversation that includes personal attacks. [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement is a defensive response to a personal attack, not engaging in constructive criticism or dialogue. [-1]
  4. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement attempts to clarify a personal position, which aligns with using one's platform responsibly. [+1]
