@NYMag 2/ And boy, @NYMag must have *really* missed *this* tweet—missed it *altogether*—even though @MatthewStieb and @ChasDanner were *definitely* read my Twitter feed religiously during the period they were writing their false story about the information here:
@NYMag @MatthewStieb @chasdanner 3/ Here's why this matters: major media *punishes* independent journalists for discussing *major-media stories* that the media is not *then* focused on. All I did was point out some prior major-media reporting that people would be looking at again post-Epstein, and I got dragged.
@NYMag @MatthewStieb @chasdanner 4/ It *didn't matter*—even for a high-traffic Twitter feed—that I tweeted that "I had no theory" about what happened with Epstein. Or that I found the chances of anything *but* a suicide—as media reported—"vanishingly small" *and* explained how silly the conspiracy theories were.
@NYMag @MatthewStieb @chasdanner 5/ @NYMag has been wildly misstating this feed's content for two years, and when I write them demanding a correction, they ignore it. Some of the NYM "journalists" writing about me have me *blocked* on Twitter, making it less likely I'll see their false stories. It's infuriating.
@NYMag @MatthewStieb @chasdanner 6/ We all seek narrative: I do, you do, journalists do. But journalists are called to *never* publish false info in service of a narrative they think is unfolding. @NYMag decided in 2017 that I was a conspiracy theorist—but didn't have the data from my feed, so they *made it up*.
@NYMag @MatthewStieb @chasdanner 7/ According to @NYMag, I accused Leon Black of being involved in Epstein's murder. (I didn't.) Does @NYMag understand that its false report puts me in a situation where I could have legal liability? They're damaging my reputation *and* putting me in a precarious legal situation.
@NYMag @MatthewStieb @chasdanner 8/ This feed is *famously* loquacious—if I believe something I *say it clearly* and probably say it *twenty times*. If you're a "journalist" squinting at your computer screen trying to imagine whether maybe I'm saying something you wish I were saying, SPOILER ALERT: you're wrong.
@NYMag @MatthewStieb @chasdanner 9/ Moreover, if you're a journalist squinting at your PC to see whether the infamously loquacious, too-candid-by-half tweeter was maybe making an explosive argument *on the down low*—*that'd* be a first!—maybe try *contacting him by email, text, or DM* to see if you're right, eh?
@NYMag @MatthewStieb @chasdanner 10/ It's a big deal to falsely claim I accused Black, Kushner, and the Saudi government of being part of a conspiracy to commit murder—a *big* deal. Yesterday @thedailybeast misreported my feed—and *fixed* it. Now @NYMag is on the clock. If past is precedent they'll do *nothing*.
@NYMag @MatthewStieb @chasdanner @thedailybeast PS/ I'll always fight back to protect my reputation—I aim to be transparent, clear, comprehensive, and careful about what I am and am not saying. Misreport what I say and you'll hear about it. I'm sick of lying down for these outlets painting me/my words as something they're not.
@NYMag @MatthewStieb @chasdanner @thedailybeast NOTE/ If you think maybe @MatthewStieb/@ChasDanner just saw and misunderstood a thread, understand the thread *said* it was *about* Epstein's associations—*not* his death—and *added*, "no one can claim that all of these byzantine transnational ties have been fully disentangled."
@NYMag @MatthewStieb @chasdanner @thedailybeast MORE/ In March 2019 @bafeldman—who not only never contacted me but blocked me on Twitter so I'd be less likely to see what he'd done—falsely claimed, in @NYMag, that I'd misrepresented my professional credentials. A *serious* charge. From the email I sent @NYMag (and it ignored):
