I’m trying to empathy to anyone who losing job, scapegoat about global danger, in his birthday
Very sunny day. 10.07 am local time (Denpasar), exactly a week ago. Biden, sweat maybe behind tux-blazer (*he decided to keep his tux-blazer when arrived at Mangrove to meet another G20 leaders*). Biden reconfirmed that the missile that hit Przewodow Lublin Poland isn't from Russia, after an emergency meeting between G7, NATO, EU (7.53 am). Biden was awake at 1 am (local time), receiving an emergency call from White House, NATO, Poland, and Ukraine.
10-minute miscommunication on Slack between journalists at the Associated Press resulted in an erroneous report last week that appeared momentarily to bring tensions between NATO and Russia, and entire earth, to their highest point since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Pretty clear from these messages that AP is scapegoating the reporter it fired over what were editorial failures.
James is a good reporter and deserves better. After getting fired, this midnight was actually his birthday. I'm really sad for James, who shared a tip in a Slack message, deferred to his editors, and was hung out to dry.
Everyone makes mistakes, but the mistake here seems to be with editors, in James’s words, "above my pay grade." Rushed process with misunderstandings by multiple parties. showing the chaotic editorial process that resulted in last week’s erroneous AP story about missiles hitting Poland. When the G20 Summit started, opened by Jokowi, actually a (little) hope to cease fire was still open. Ending the hopeless suffering of each other. But it burst again in the air.
Not sure if twitter’s gonna be around much longer, join my substack to keep in touch (*was in English, German, Francais, Turkiye, Indonesian language. More / Planning: Italy, Dutch)
