Last month, the best known DC-specific magazine reached out to ME for a story! At first, I was excited to have a way to reach over 100k sets of eyes at once. Still, I had my suspicions...

My doubts doubled when I scrolled down slightly on the journalist’s Twitter feed... #Thread

But how could I turn down the chance at this opp? So, I diligently answered the reporter’s initial questions. Then I answered the followups. Then silence.

Eventually, he replied to me. The article is on an indefinite hold. 🤔

I get that CV is the focus now, but... #Thread

I decided to research his editor. Looking at AB’s tweets from ‘19 should tell you all you need to know about his bias. But then there are his articles. So many 🚴‍♀️ articles!

Is it possible the goal of the article was to mock ABAW? That is, until my answers forced them to bury it?

Nah, that couldn’t be it. I must be a crackpot for even suggesting that the editor might have an agenda, right @unsuckdcmetro?

Oh, and about that focus on CV... it seems to be more loosely applied than the journalist originally described. #EndOfThread

This tweet will be ABAW’s last until #StayHome is lifted. I’ll still be replying to objectionable situations - but today’s thread seems like a good pausing point for new content since it does an ideal job of exposing the media’s role in the fleecing of 🇺🇸 by the tiny 🚴 lobby. 🚳
