    oof we got some fire in the comments:

    Do you consider yourself a journalist, or are you “undercover” at that too?

    blows my mind sometimes that shit like this gets semi-regularly called out in the main areas of reddit and people still eat it up after the fact

    Almost as good as the Rushan Abbas one

      Its pretty exciting that after 2+ years now of unquestioning acceptance, ppl are finally asking for sources.

        The deep state is sending their absolute worst for this too all over. They cannot get someone with half-decent credentials to be the mouthpiece of their narrative.

        • Adrian Zenz, far-right pro-spanking evangelist rapturist
        • Rushan Abbas, worked for various state departments and at one point in Guantanamo
        • This girl, Amelia Pang, who has written fifteen articles for Epoch Times and now a book with no substance

        There was also an AMA of a stooge from HRW but I forgot the details about it.

    That whole thread is full of very based replies. wtf is going on?

      She lost credibility when she admitted in the top reply that she didn’t go inside, despite saying she went undercover. Then reddit used that with the self-promotion aspect since she was selling a book and if there’s one thing they hate, it’s self-promotion (despite reddit being astroturfed as fuck).

        True. I hadn’t considered that. iama has been very sensitive about that since Woody “can we just talk about Rampart” harrelson

      On very rare occasions you’ll see it, I have no idea why they decided to start asking for sources on this one.
