I see lots of dunking on this tweet bc of “appears to show.”
I went to journalism school w/Josh & can speak to why this language is used, why it may be important & whether this type of thinking should be changed.

So, (oh, shit) A THREAD (fuck—can’t believe I just typed that). To begin with, this is not a case of Josh being "spineless" or “a coward,” as some have accused. It's journalism best practices as they're currently taught and practiced at the highest levels. So let’s focus on the institution of journalism in our current climate.
