@kausmickey Where did you get to the idea that .@voxdotcom was supposed to be a lively festival of ideas? Its charter is to herd thoughts.
@kausmickey @voxdotcom a) Yes b) You’re assuming that the brand is “lively festival of ideas.” But Vox brand promise is “one best way.”
@kausmickey @voxdotcom Real question is why anyone cares about why Vox rejected something published elsewhere.
@kausmickey @voxdotcom I didn’t follow the link, so maybe he didn’t publish the piece. But editors reject commissioned articles every day.
@kausmickey @voxdotcom a) yes, or at least they should, or just low-info folks b) if you want that you need a center-right or stats driven
@kausmickey Why, yes. Yes, we do. Voxsplaining = editorialising @voxdotcom
@kausmickey @voxdotcom yeah, there’s no defense of this doesn’t make Vox seem even more conformist/afraid of difference
@kausmickey @voxdotcom Is there a link to the text by Torbjorn Tannsjo
