I stopped following Pink News everywhere some time ago anyway, but now they're platforming Wes Streeting?

@IsabelB I saw it earlier and was disgusted.

@IsabelB I think this is an even worse option

But at least they've been thrown under an electric bus...

@RachelThornSub @IsabelB their reasoning is simple, they just fired all the trans people working there.

@IsabelB pink'news' has gone downhill so quickly. Hopefully they'll be gone soon

@RachelThornSub @IsabelB https://www.wearequeeraf.com/pinknews-to-move-to-a-reporter-free-newsroom-with-its-journalists-facing-redundancy/

no more journalists. take a look at the credited authors this past week versus a couple months ago. it's wes streeting, two guys, and "pinknews contributor" which im pretty sure is code for slop.

given that senior pinknews staff have been transphobic in the recent past, i think we can just assume pinknews is an arm of transphobia now.

@imbl @RachelThornSub

I've thought so for a while now, but yes, absolutely, they're really plumbing the depths now...‍️

@IsabelB oh I didn’t realize they were shit…blocking now

[revndm@queer.cool]

@IsabelB on second thought I didn’t have them in my news feed, so yay!

[rachelthornsub@famichiki.jp]

@imbl @IsabelB Thank you for this link. This is shocking. I just learned about the sexual harassment/assault allegations earlier today, and this article seems to make it clear that Pink News will henceforth be slop. What a loss.

@imbl @IsabelB In happier news, I just became a paid subscriber to QueerAF.
