JWcph, Radicalized By Decency<p>You know, I'm pretty tired of seeing references to current goings-on in terms of, say, "a wider backlash to DEI" so this is for <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/journalists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journalists</span></a> everywhere: There is no "wider" anything. </p><p>I'm perfectly serious. All of *gestures at everything* is the result of an extremely narrow "backlash" - a concerted effort from a very small interest group with outsized influence, in no small part thanks to exactly this kind of criti-hype'y coverage. </p><p>Do better. </p><p><a href="https://helvede.net/tags/ThePress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThePress</span></a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>news</span></a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/narratives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>narratives</span></a></p>
