The Vox Doctrine
Media companies are profiting from a crisis they helped create. Vox/Recode dismissed the pandemic, scorned precautions, told you not to wear masks, even attacked philanthrophy!
Now they're setting traffic records.
Need citizen journalism, not corporate media.

To @ezraklein @mattyglesias @karaswisher, the ethical thing to do would be:
- Retraction
- Resignation
- Donation
Formally retract all false articles, do not delete them. Resign from your posts. And donate 28% of your net worth to help fix the catastrophe you helped create.
