She said what everyone has been saying for weeks. The wording is also clearly her opinion, nothing hidden there. She also included Mullenweg's post so everyone can read the source.

Are you saying that journalists can never share an opinion? Also, are you trying to argue Mullenweg is only looking bad because of journalists? His own actions and words seem to be doing a pretty good job on their own.

Your comparison between humans and machines is revealing. If you want a soulless computer to tell you what’s going on in the world, talk to Grok or something. Humans have personalities.


People can be multiple things at once as mind blowing as that may seem. They can act in public as a journalist and at the same time have private opinions that they share on social media.

Just as programmers not only “design schedule or plan radio or television programs”, journalism is not just “journaling”
