Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):

Jack is a Nazi and a stochastic terrorist who literally wrote a book published last year called unhumans laying out a plan and call to exterminate anyone left of Hitler because they are not humans. NPR stop doing Nazi revisionism challenge failed yet again.

NPR (@npr.org):

Jack Posobiec, a prominent influencer, has a long history of promoting antisemitic and white supremacist content. He traveled to Ukraine with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week.


Uzza (@uzzamodea.bsky.social):

What? I thought they laid out the case against him pretty well. And the @michaelehayden.bsky.social quotes were devastating.


Michael Edison Hayden (@michaelehayden.bsky.social):

He's just posting bullshit


Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):

Excuse me? Please back up and show me where my claims are bullshit? NPR consistently downplays and normalized these Nazis behavior and words. Are you claiming they don't?


Michael Edison Hayden (@michaelehayden.bsky.social):

I gave quotes throughout and never thought the reporter or I downplayed Jack's danger — it is literally the premise of the story. It's why they sought to do it. Completely bizarre reaction.


Blank Willbur (@blankwillbur.bsky.social):

The headline itself downplays Prosebic's outright Nazism. The content goes further.

He's a Nazi, that's the only story here. That you and your NPR pals make it anything else 𝘐𝘚 the problem.


Blank Willbur (@blankwillbur.bsky.social):

I get you want to see yourself as a "serious journ*list" but these kind of puff-pieces for pro-oligarch, Nazi-dismissive media, like NPR do the opposite.

The time for corporate bullshit non-journ*lism, and its non-journ*lists is over.


Michael Edison Hayden (@michaelehayden.bsky.social):

I don't want to see myself as anything but quite a bit of the information you got about Jack came from my work


Blank Willbur (@blankwillbur.bsky.social):

And that's come excuse for your "both-sides" oligarchic fluff-piece journ*lism?

Your articles in this area have been consistently dismissive of and ignoring extremism and nazism to pursue a very stock corporate-both-sidesism.

You can protest, but that's how your work comes off. 𝗗𝗢 𝗕𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥


Michael Edison Hayden (@michaelehayden.bsky.social):

Example?


Blank Willbur (@blankwillbur.bsky.social):

you're really bad at this. Pretending you don't know what we're all talking about? Sounds like you've been getting reply "strategy" from reddit's /r/conservative.

You know, this is a moment. Going forward, corporate-friendly, dismissive both-sides journ*lism isn't going to get you ahead. 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘓𝘶𝘤𝘬.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Stop.

Some grounded reality:

Mr Hayden is a respected expert.

Also

Karl is criticising the journ*lism outlet for describing Posobiec as "an influencer", rather than "violent extremist". Makeup tiktokers are influencers; Posobiec is a White Identity Extremist & nigh on a terrorist.

That's all.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Mr Hayden didn't write the headline. Not even the journ*list wrote the headline. Editors write headlines.

We don't need to slapfight at each other.
