Newspapers have retractions. Yelp has an extortion policy to remove bad reviews. And you can bet they won't remove that flag even if there are 30 retractions.
Regardless, CNN doesn’t often cover these stories. Local news does. And local news doesn’t suck.
Btw, please forgive the snark, but a complete lack of faith in local journalism (I.e. a conflation of CNN and the Altoona Mirror) is a big reason cable news has a lot of power.
TLDR - support local journalists!
CNN has bullied redditors to make a public apology and never say anything cnn editors consider racist or else: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/6lcdp9/did_...
>CNN is not publishing "HanAholeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.
>CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.
Almost every single "business accused of racism" story in the media story turns out to be a hoax. (for obvious reasons, being a victim is now the way to societal approval)
Local news covers these accusations, so it doesn't matter whether they're accurate about the fact that there is no actual evidence for a claim, that will still allow Yelp to label the business as "accused of racism".
The NYT has lost its mind over the 1619 project. If I can trust the NYT to get basic facts of history right who can I trust in media?
Forgive the snark, but the existence of unreasonable organizations does not preclude the existence of reasonable ones. And even unreasonable ones are not incapable of reason. Applies to people within the orgs, too.
Does such a thing exist anymore?
There’s not going to be an “accuse of racism” button. This feature is “if a business is being publicly accused of racism in a credible newspaper, we’ll note it on the page.” Which is a lot more reasonable, imo.
