Media corporations often rewrite stories in the passive voice without linking to the original sources.
By using the passive voice, they feign neutrality. By obscuring the primary source, they feign authority.
In reality they are increasingly just wrappers around Twitter.

It was @PalmerLuckey who broke this story as a citizen journalist. I doubt he cares about it, but it’s not that hard to give him credit.
Well, actually, I suppose it is if you want to maintain that media corporations rather than citizens are the real “guardians of democracy”.

It looks like the Verge story now mentions @PalmerLuckey towards the end but this ArsTechnica piece doesn’t. It credits the Verge instead.
@binarybits can write good stuff, so I hope he updates the piece to cite the citizen journalist who broke the story.
