Just like defense focused organizations financially benefit from overstating the chances and dangers of war with other nations, the NYPD has a financial stake in over-embellishing the extremist angle here.
While this behavior probably isn’t constructive, it really shouldnt surprise anyone.
Well put. Conversely, there should be no shock (pearl clutching and what not) when the behavior is called out for what it is: self serving performance art.
You do have to wonder if the billionaire owners of these media companies don't want to be the first media source to publish and widely distribute a report like this. The owners are probably worried it is a tipping point moment and they don't want to be the newspaper that starts things off. That's because they probably have never heard of substack and the like and don't realize that it's going to get out there anyway.
Oops. The same major media outlets that have spent years harping about the dangers of misinformation and strongly hinted at their desire for a digital censorship protocol that can curb these so-called dangers from sources that aren't these major media outlets (looking especially at you NY Times), show, once again, how they construct narrative in ways that suit some internal interest of theirs. That however apparently can't be classified as misinformation.
I'd love to see their reasoning for not revealing the full content of the report.
