Journalism is at an all time low. In all sorts of ways.

Makes sense that it's paywalled, how else would they pay for such good journalists and editors? ๐Ÿ‘

But isn't it the article about the negligent article that is paywalled?

They distributed a magazine article by another entity. But they also didn't review it to make sure it met their own editorial standards. They have changed their editorial process to include articles that are republished.
