The Wall Street Journal still has an article online that says:
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/does-imane-khelif-belong-in-the-womens-ring-olympics-boxing-transgender-ideology-b227f2cd
~~Fuck Jeff Bezos~~
EDIT: Oh dang this isn't WaPo. Fuck him anyway though.
Wait how is this blatant lie allowed to remain published online? I thought the WSJ had at least some credibility?
A lot of people still think there's consequence or rules or regulations on what publications can say or do. We abolished those laws a long time ago.
Sue'em, hard.
No modern US media has any credibility anymore. They are owned by a handful of wealthy people who don't give a shit about truth or journalistic integrity.
WSJ is a Murdoch propaganda outlet
Bezos has nothing to do with the Wall Street Journal
my bad
Upvote because you recognized you were incorrect & you weren’t a rowling about it!
☺️
It's not like I have to take back the "Fuck Jeff Bezos" part. Just not specifically about this.
Never, ever take back a “fuck Bezos” 💪👍🙏
Unless you meant it literally; I would never encourage sexual intercourse with that... being.
shrug nothing wrong with being short. Everything wrong with being a billionaire.
Never poo poo a poo poo.
The author, colin wright, touts himself as a fellow for SEGM "The Society For Evidence-Based Gender Medicine;" which is a non-profit organization that is known for its opposition to gender-affirming care for transgender youth and for engaging in political lobbying.
He's a POS who gets paid to write smear pieces endangering the lives of trans people, by people with even worse ideals than his own.
