1. So, in January, when @ATT PROMISED to cut off donations to Republicans who voted to overturn the election, it was covered by virtually every major media outlet.
@nytimes
@CNN
@Variety
@dallasnews
I could go on and on
@nytimes
@CNN

@ATT @nytimes @CNN @Variety @dallasnews 2. Now, 9 months later, @ATT has violated its promise
The only outlet to cover was my newsletter, Popular Information
None of the dozens of publications that covered @ATT's initial announcement have picked up the story
This seems screwed up

3. To me, if you are going to cover the corporate press release announcing a promise but not follow up when the corporation BREAKS the promise, that's not journalism. That's PR.
I doubt that's what these outlets want to do. But that's the reality of what they are doing.
