VSJ Care-free spreads anti-trans misinformation

As I mostly respect Wall Street Journal, Every time he can be reminded that, in fact, owned by Rupert Murdoch. This time, it was printed something dangerously close to the anti-trans defamation of blood in the wake of Charlie Kirk.

Yesterday in her live update, The Magazine wrote“Ammunition is engraved by transgender and anti-fascist ideology is found in the cracks, believe that in Kirk’s shooting used in Kirk’s recording, in the Internal Bulletin for law enforcement and the source that is familiar with the investigation.” That language echoed in social media Messages.

Now we know it’s Magazine That’s why it was that bullets had messages, but nothing about transgender people were on them. This reporting was demolished slowly and then quickly. First, The New York Times had a source Who said VsjThe information is contrary to other conclusions. Then CNN reported only investigators They saw some arrows on the housings. The final nail in the coffin arrived from the press conference held by the Governor Spencer Utah Coke, which did not confirm that anything on the trans-in-the-housings.

Right wing, including sitting of Congress members, makes false claims of blamed trans people For years to violence weapons. “Another trans shooter,” said Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Mass Shots in Philadelphia in 2023. years. (The The suspect arrested was not trans.) Missouri Senator Josh Hawlei said that the shooting of the church in Texas Churches from 2024. years, so the shooter of the Church Lakewood was a transdontist, pro-Palestine radical … ” The suspect arrested was not.) The least representative of Arizona Paul Gosar had a basic feeling of embarrassment Delete your 2022 Tweet About shooting in the Uvalde at school, where he blamed the “transsexual leftist of illegal aliens.” (Again, The suspicious perpetrator was not trans.)

After Kirk’s death, the right wing began to blame left-handed fires loud – everyone from Donald Trump to Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna to Elone musk. The journalists now knew for decades that initial reports on shootings were often wrong. So, given the history of false charges against trans people and left-handed, MagazineThe decision to live with trembling information was stunning, shockingly irresponsible.

Trans people were attacked by the right to a better part of the decade. Republicans are now considering terrorizing trans people A question of signatures. In addition Pawns for the bathroom – What do they look targeted Criminalization is trans in public – The Republic Party conducted the valuable time in its national convention demonizing trans peopleSpecifically. Access Trans People Health Care Reduced by the Supreme Court. The The Hospital Network of the University of Michigan has stopped providing care to fully confirm gender to minors after receiving a call to court; that is one of At least 21 hospitals for it. The Federal Trade Commission also started Survey of concerns for juveniles.

So this is a vulnerable minority group that is broadly demonized. Any good journalistic practice would involve the hampering of accuracy to avoid deteriorating things. It didn’t happen The Wall Street Journal.

This story was later rewritten without correction or editor note, toward Status, Newsletter on the media industry. Status asked why. Here is an answer with Vsj:

Like any breaking situation, we update our reporting – which we published in the form of Live Blog – with new information and further reporting as it becomes available. Our initial internal newsletter report is appropriately appropriate. We built it later in the day as we received more reporting and felt the extra material for themselves. There was no discharged correction of the original story, because no one was considered necessary.

Well, the editor’s note was now added. Here you are fully:

Editor’s note: The earlier version of this article described in detail the internal law enforcement note, that the ammunition recovered after shooting Charlie Kirk engraved with the expressions of “transgender and anti-fascist ideology”. Officials of the Department for Justice later caution on bilu in the bureaus of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives, saying that it cannot accurately reflect messages in ammunition, and the article is up to date on Thursday. Note this editor is attached on Friday, 12. September, after Juta Gov. Spencer Cock said the engravists included the one who said “Hey Fascist!” together with other messages and symbols. He did not give indication that ammunition included any transgender references.

I still have questions about how it happened. Why did Vsj Run with a semi-baked report?

I doubt someone saw Post Steven Crowder and felt the competition. In the post yesterdayThe crowd said that he received an email from alcohol, tobacco and a fiery officer containing “shot shot from what seems to be an internal message,” he wrote. The alleged message contained the following sentence: “All cartridges engraved the formulation on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” Crowd, professional jerk, not a very reliable source – he is Former children’s actor the most famous per White with their jobs Fox News, chew his pregnant woman, Breach of hate speech policies YouTubeand hosting of political comment Louder with a crowd.

Shortly after post crowds, the Magazine He went live with his update. Browsing a crowded as a competitor worth to match is that I would expect The New York PostOr indeed most other sensationalist works owned by Murdoch, which is also responsible for Fox News. (You would think after The New York Times‘Attempting to compete with Chris Rufoom requested, which leads them to serve as a mouthpiece for Nazi hackerSerious media would know better.) Swimming transients, after all, a republican party and which promotes the party better than the Corp news? But Magazine It should be a crown jewel in realms, with real, reputable reporting. Her editors and journalists should know better. The Wall Street Journal Ran is with the wrong report in the environment where the left was loudly blamed for shooting, and where they transformed transformed for shootings they did not commit.

As we know now, The bullets actually had messages on them. They included fur furred memes (“Chala notifications this – What is this?”), Phrase “If you read, you are gay lmao,” and reference to video game Helldivers 2. This seems to be more indicated by the rotation of the internet brain than any specific ideology. That is confusing enough at least some from Groepers (and also, obviously, Musk’s Chatbot Greek) They seem to think The shooter was the groveso From that of what you want. The Magazine He turned to the suggestion of alleged shooters, Tyler Robinson, was simply an upset Mladic, despite other remarks of COKS. Cox said that One of Robinson’s relatives informed investigators If Robinson “became more politically in recent years.”

The Wall Street Journal She did not withdraw her Trans Community report, nor did he apologize. I guess that’s actually Rupert Murdoch paper.
