The Fox News site which ran the word death threat over threat was a Fox affiliate. I have now received abusive msgs since yesterday because I, a reporter, took issue with the affiliate inferring a word rather than just printing what was actually said.
I have been harassed for 24 hours nearly. My god. You'd think sharing your opinion, which I do very rarely, would be okay. This is why I dont do deep dives with readers or offer my insight because it opens a door for people to come in and threaten to rape me because I dont agree.
Yeah, seriously. For shame.
Heres the real T: I dont care who you are or what you believe in. If you want news and information is all I care about. Your politics, your beliefs, that's all you. I am not here to force you to think like me. I am not here to propagandize you either.
I don't block because you voted for Trump or your Twitter handle ends in MAGA. I dont block because it ends in Blue Wave or Resist.
This is still a free country, damn it, but I will block you the second you threaten to rape me and kill me over a damn tweet.
I actually care about my work and I care about not being just another reporter spewing spin and nonsense at readers. I care. I want to see more people align with each other than against.
Now that I've said it, I fully expect to be trolled. unlike the pathetic people who harass others online, I'll be spending the day offline, surrounded by people who are actually contributing something to the world instead of trying to destroy it 100 characters at a time.
