   this incisive, cosmic brain reporter knew the submarine didn't have a locator and witnessed it go missing for a full FIVE HOURS, then witnessed a comms blackout around that. and he just... decided not to report any of that.

     @Inger it's the "we had no way of checking" that gets me, because bro, you're a journalist, you can check that

     pettter repeated this.

     @goatsarah @stavvers that’s atrocious. We are supposed to be able to trust journalists to a certain degree because *checking things IS their job*

     @stavvers the hopeful part of me wonders if this is due to the company making the journalist signing an NDA at the start of voyage which gave the company the right to filter what they wrote. And which bars them from talking about said NDA.

     @MikDuffy
     wifi: is shit in a conference centre
     journalists: THIS IS SUPPRESSION
     wifi: cut off when a submarine goes missing for five hours
     journalists: this is fine and normal

     @stavvers But they said they needed every available electron and couldn't waste any on letting other folk use the wifi!

     That seems legit.

     @floppyplopper tbqh I feel like it's entirely plausible that they are all that entirely credulous and just kind of accept that this is how things work because their job is largely regurgitating press releases about fancy doohickeys

     memories of the same tech and business journalists claiming they were conned and not in cahoots after each and every other tech scandal

     @stavvers to be fair, tech journalists, like sports journalists, usually aren’t really journalists but simply write about the topic
