Journalists are never the story. The profession is completely designed around that their job is to present the story and when other people write about how the story was presented in that they need to mention the journalist, they’ll mention them by their news org, such as here where she is referred to as a PBS NewsHour presenter. Its not a slight, its just the best way we’ve found to reduce the number of Brian Williams and Matt Lauers we have in the world
Not offensive. Just saying why it was presented this way. it’s pretty typical stuff. The argument can be made that amonymizing reporters only benefits capital holders. My current stance is undecided. Pragmatically, I think as long as we’re stuck with capitalism its better to present things like this but that doesn’t mean I feel great about it or like it
Yeah it makes sense. It was just annoying when I get American trauma all over, I am really disinterested in your gender wars and politics and how journalists should be named. I just wondered and in comes the shit train.
Not ok. You inserted gender. I was trying to be polite? never seen such reactions on lemmy before. Sad that American politics is ruining exactly everything
Why does he have a name and not her?
Because this story is about him, not her. You don’t have to see gender conflict everywhere.
I don’t actually care about gender? Who inserted that? Wtf?
It’s about her to me.
Sorry that you are offended.

He’s always inserting his gender, essingmyaich.
We are referring to her by her title, as her preferred form of address.
