For all the talk of liberal bias, even the avowedly progressive Vox Media has problems with how management treats employees. And that pro-management / pro-business bias in pervasive in our profit-driven media world.
As soon as UNC announced in May that it would reopen in the fall, I texted a few people “I have a hunch.” So I filed a public records request and a few months later I read over 1,300 of Chancellor Guskiewicz’s emails https://t.co/l31IzkdycN

The Daily Tar Heel at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, has been doing some great journalism lately. Student reporter Elizabeth Moore filed a Freedom of Information Act request for e-mails at the school that show all the early warnings the school had about how bad COVID19 problems might be this fall. They also ran a headline on an editorial that a lot of faculty would have agreed with, even if they wouldn’t have approved of the NSFW language.
EDITORIAL: "Clusterfuck (n) : a complex and utterly disordered and mismanaged situation."
