      Really? I’ve been posting about this story and haven’t noticed that :deeper-sadness: guess I’m not surprised?

      I know there are sectarian reasons people don’t like them, and Ben Norton is a despicable person despite his excellent journalism...

          All of Ben Norton’s reporting can seem like a bit much, but he owns the scoreboard for being right again and again.

          There is an extractivist versus non extractivist conversation to be had about leftism in South America, but it usually is wielded in bad faith by people who have an agenda.

          Had a very normal one online once by doxxing someone who accused a friend of his of rape and saying someone who corroborated the story was cointelpro.

          People grow up and learn, he kind of apologized, but that’s always rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t think it makes him any less of a journalist though.

          Responded below. Basically he had a very normal one online. I’ve followed him for years, so recall when this happened in real time. May not be common knowledge
