Kate Sosin, a 19th News LGBTQ+ reporter, publicly complained for being identified as a female.
“I really did not want to get into this, but I don’t know what to do. It’s been five days since @MSNBC pubbed this piece on gender-based harassed facing journalists and misgendered me,” Sosin tweeted Tuesday. “They won’t fix it. I have asked. @19thnews has asked and asked.”
Then MSNBC responded. “NBC News interviewed Kate Sosin, a nonbinary trans journalist, who shared their experience with gender-based threats akin to those faced by reporters who identify as female,” MSNBC wrote in an update to the segment.
Journalists face online harassment
April 1, 202202:52 “That context was not clear in this story, which inadvertently led to Kate’s misgendering. Banners have been removed from this story to help eliminate any confusion,” MSNBC added.
The troublesome graphic which has been removed said, “1 in 3 women under 35 experience online harassment.” MSNBC was criticized for posting the clip “without any context.”Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz, who appeared alongside Sosin, accused NBC of using her as “clickbait.”“If your segment or story on ‘online harassment’ leads to even worse online harassment for your subjects, you f–ked up royally and should learn how to cover these things properly before ever talking about them again,” Lorenz wrote.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
