This is amazing. Some guy tricked Fortune into reporting that X would charge users an $8 signup fee.

This was reported last week. I read it and shared it. 😂

It was a hoax! Just some guy trying to prove that the mainstream media doesn't verify sh*t.

Fortune took down the story.

I was digging for news about X today and found this. I haven't seen anyone else talk about it anywhere.

We need more people doing what Alan Sokal did.

That said, confirmation bias is a hard drug to kick.

I remember a time when people in newsrooms would rather die than share who they voted for.

Now... it's just not the same. It's all identity politics. Biases out on display. I'm old though 😂 I don't do news anymore.

The ones with integrity are around but marginalized.

The smoke filled rooms with with intense journalists hammering away and working to make deadline is a bygone era.

Yeah. News in a traditional sense of dead.

Hamstrung by budgets and lack of staff, trying to survive
