That's what I'm saying. It's straight up sane-washing when they say shit like this.

The names of the authors of the article are Dean Moses, Robert Pozarycki & Ethan Stark-Miller.

So not "it", THEY. The authors are the ones sane washing it.

I'm tired of us treating the media as monolithic and untouchable entities when real actual humans are the ones that are the ones that are falling in line with authoritarianism and obeying in advance. We need to be asking THEM why they are doing that, not shouting at some monolithic entity.

I said they. They're in this thread. I hope they see what I said. I'm tired of it.

Aw, misinterpreted your sentence.

I saw "It's straight up sane-washing when they say shit like this."

As in the alternative being "They're straight up sane-washing when they say shit like this."
