This is the dirty little game journalists at major newspapers like @USATODAY play: they use their huge platform to attack and try to ruin the lives of powerless people & private citizens, then depict *themselves* as the fragile victims, the bullied, to bar any criticisms of them.

I'm going to have an article on this in just a bit. It's a massive scam journalists are running: If you're capable of writing news articles in the largest and most influential papers in the country -- attacking private citizens - then you're fair game to be criticized.

Watching journalists weaponize the language of the voiceless and the marginalized and then apply it to *themselves* -- to cast criticisms of them as some moral crime "bullying" or "harassment" -- is repugnant. You have the right to criticize journalists at major outlets. Use it.

By the way: in addition to criticizing the lead reporter on the @USAToday article -- the journalist who was put first on the byline by her editors -- I also extensively criticized and engaged with the male reporter whose name was lst. Is that allowed?

Any time these journalists writing *for major corporate outlets* self-victimize and claim they're the target of "bullying" and "harassment campaigns," ask them what the rules are for permissible critique of their work. There are *none*. That's their scam:
