The first amendment guarantees freedom of the press. The journals should completely ignore nut-job’s obvious attempts to imtimidate them into buying into his perverted world-view. (Not ‘ideology’ so much as ‘spasmology’.)
No doubt the journals belong to organizations who will help them defend themselves against cretinist arm-twisting. The demented bonobos will bully their way out a job soon enough.
If science is too woke for you you better check your reality.
Here’s the thing about journals, they show their data and methods. If you disagree with the findings, go re run the study. That’s how science works.
“And we spend a lot of time choosing the right articles to publish and trying to get the message right. We think we’re an antidote for misinformation.”
Indeed, but maybe these journals define misinformation in the conventional way, not the MAGA way. That could be the problem here. If you publish anything too “woke”, it could attract threats like these.
Sounds suspiciously uncritical of the situation.
Maybe it would have clarified if I had added some negative expressions such as “misguided MAGA notion” or “authoritarian dictator”.
This is why we should all do our best to marginalize republicans.
They are marginalizing themselves daily, but yeah, they deserve our help with that.
Justice department tries to bully journals for presenting science.
Terrible
