The #media in democratic countries have the #freedom they wouldn't find in autocracies.

That freedom, like all freedom, comes with #responsibility

Yet the media amplifies #autocrats who are against that freedom

E.g. there's barely any addresses by our democratically elected European leaders as they meet this week. You'll struggle to find a livestream of #Zelenskyy's interview to the press.

But multiple media outlets live-stream war criminal #Putin's yearly address & "interview" to the #press

Update. I acknowledge that there's no bright line between using these tools to polish one's language and using them to shape one's judgments of quality. I also ack that these tools are steadily getting better at "knowing the field". That's why this is a hard problem.

One way to ensure that reviewers take #responsibility for their judgments is #attribution.
