1/ Glad to see that the @washingtonpost is covering the disastrous decision to have an indoor wedding of 200, and the @NYTvows insane decision to break its own COVID protocol in covering thelily.com/indoors-with-2…
2/ the @NYTvows is a medieval, white elitist legacy entity and, even though they now cover weddings of POC and plebes, on occasion, that they would put their own staff at risk and help facilitate a terrible example is grotesque.
3/ though these pieces are not outright paid announcements, they might as well be. The paper should put its reporting and photo resources to...anything else. This is some gross stuff from a bygone era, and now a superspreader event that the newsroom should track.
4/ and yes, I am well aware that the Post coverage partly comes out of pique. They’re still right.
5/ and, the reason this throwback still exists is in no small part on members of the media, who can gain a blurb at vastly disproportionate rates than anyone else but absolute blue bloods and celebs.
It is a throwback. And now a dangerous one.
