This was note elsewhere on HN but at least three of these - from MSNBC, Mashable, and CNN - aren't truly journalists. Yes, the produce a lot of editorial-ish content doesn't default them up to (what is supposed to be) journalism's higher standard.

The fact the NYT doesn't understand that make their employee suspect as well.

For the sake of discussion, this list is a solid lens for identifying journalistic activity, or the lack there of.

"It doesn't matter that Elon Musk is silencing his critics on his absolute-free-speech platform, these aren't /real/ journalists."

Please. I didn't realize all of Musk's fans had gone to j-school and are the arbiters of "journalism's higher standard."
