A few years ago The New Yorker wrote a piece alleging that I lied to my interview subjects in Farmlands. I sent them all the proof that this claim was false, they apologized and said they would work to fix this. 1/4 
Finally a month later they published a “letter to the editor” on a random page that isn’t shared anywhere, lumped in with a bunch of other messages & had severely gutted what I wrote. It wasn’t linked on their original piece, and no corrections to their original piece were made.
The piece is still up today and it still alleges I lied to my subjects in Farmlands. They know for a fact this is untrue, they have acknowledged that to me and apologized. It does not matter.

I just want people to understand, even if you are in the right. Even if you have all the proof in the world. Even if you have the "receipts" and you’re dealing with a mainstream outlet. It’s unlikely you will get any justice. They know they can get away with it.
People wonder why we use the word "Fake News" they wonder why there's a severe distrust of the media?
It has nothing to do with them being Trump supporters or right wing. It has nothing to do with politics.
It's just a fact. The media are lying scumbags and everyone knows it.
