<p>Little did I realize that a post I threw up on X would cause Scientific American to shove editor Laura Helmut out the door for hateful post-election comments, action now ricocheting across social media and multiple news outlets. “I've decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief,” <a href="https://substack.com/redirect/fd11a02c-ade4-469d-9fcd-da15a97c3b61?j=eyJ1Ijoicnp1NjAifQ.UYU96t_aqtPn0rf8uo-MDATPQvfAPcNrZpbBcjE4KO8">Helmuth posted on Bluesky</a>, the social media club for liberals. “I'm going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching).”</p>
<p>Pretty much every news account misreports the events that led to Helmuth’s departure, alleging Helmuth’s scalping for appalling behavior—she called members of Gen X “<a href="https://substack.com/redirect/27588cb7-fc04-4ca2-ab20-e6fd75447a90?j=eyJ1Ijoicnp1NjAifQ.UYU96t_aqtPn0rf8uo-MDATPQvfAPcNrZpbBcjE4KO8">fucking fascists</a>”—is a political win for “conservatives” or “Trump supporters.” These stories at the <a href="https://substack.com/redirect/0d8ba7fd-6187-41cd-b84a-13df9c1cf61e?j=eyJ1Ijoicnp1NjAifQ.UYU96t_aqtPn0rf8uo-MDATPQvfAPcNrZpbBcjE4KO8">New York Times</a>, <a href="https://substack.com/redirect/098cfff8-fa7e-4bea-bbbf-e8d0671d3177?j=eyJ1Ijoicnp1NjAifQ.UYU96t_aqtPn0rf8uo-MDATPQvfAPcNrZpbBcjE4KO8">Guardian</a>, and <a href="https://substack.com/redirect/c445f7b7-e27e-4ee1-94fb-165f5a3625a7?j=eyJ1Ijoicnp1NjAifQ.UYU96t_aqtPn0rf8uo-MDATPQvfAPcNrZpbBcjE4KO8">NPR</a> serve as the latest examples of how lost and divorced from reality too many journalists remain from the American public and anything that approximates actual journalism.</p>
<p>For God’s sake, Helmuth castigated the country—“<a href="https://substack.com/redirect/27588cb7-fc04-4ca2-ab20-e6fd75447a90?j=eyJ1Ijoicnp1NjAifQ.UYU96t_aqtPn0rf8uo-MDATPQvfAPcNrZpbBcjE4KO8">fuck them to the moon and back</a>”—for going to the polls and voting, but for someone she doesn’t like: Trump.</p>
<p>Helmuth’s demise was a long time coming. Here’s what really happened.</p>
<p><a href="https://substack.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.JaFih7fkIt96P4IjBHrqeYMZF3YegCVg-OMfE_KzxCU?&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=subscribe-widget&amp;utm_content=151811561">Upgrade to paid</a></p>
<p>Every week or so I check in on the inmates who have fled X to lock themselves inside the padded ideological cell called Bluesky. I’m not sure why I peek in on the Bluesky carnival, but I’m sure it’s the same sickness that causes me to delve too deeply into people’s personal lives at dinner parties, rubberneck at freeway accidents, and spend numerous hours digging through documents to find some tiny nugget exposing medical malfeasance.</p>
<p>I’m not apologizing. Investigative journalism attracts people with this weirdness.</p>
<p>Tripping across Laura Helmuth’s Bluesky account, I found her in a bigoted political rant, one of many that I’ve caught her in over the years. Instead of ignoring her tirade, for some reason I screenshotted several of her more hateful posts, and threw them on X. I then passed my post along to several reporters who also find her conduct dogmatic and distasteful.</p>
<p>As you can see, my post got a bit of play with over 400K views.</p>
