"You are partly correct, but the post isn't that bad! It's only that the main claim is one hundred percent wrong! It's just a straight up fabrication! But you? You are only partly correct. This post saying that a dead person wrote an article they didn't, resulting in people cheering someone else's death isn't that bad. I am rational!"
The LA Times told its readers that they should mock my death. I'm still here. Their reporter? Not so much.
That’s all true. To be true, these statements don’t require the dead reporter to be the same one who encouraged death-mocking. It could’ve been any reporter for the LA Times to die for the above statements to be true.
The lower part of the post says:
Column: Mocking anti-vaxxers'
COVID deaths is ghoulish, yes
but may be necessary
Gregory Yee, Times reporter who
chased the stories that shaped LA., dies at 33
These statements are also technically true. The LA Times really did have a column about mocking deaths. Gregory Yee really did die. The thing that makes it misleading, possibly intentionally so, is the juxtaposition of the two statements to make it seem like Gregory Yee was the one who personally wrote the death-mocking column. Since he wasn’t, it seems unsavory to us, so you’re partly correct. But you’re only partly correct because the statements in the post aren’t 100% wrong and total fabrications like you just claimed. And again, you’re not correct that the vaxx and the mistreatment of cleanbloods are just “petty culture war issues”.
