Just blocked all of the ByLines accounts for platforming mainstream hate media transphobic narrative on the Scottish Gender Reform Bill being "controversial".

There were surprisingly quite a lot of them, took me a couple of minutes to send them all to Hades

What is controversial is that so much of the media have aligned themselves with TERFs, presenting the view of a tiny bigoted minority as if it is prevailing.

Fortunately this isn't like other platforms and we don't accept that behaviour in the Fediverse.

@jetton @Ecosaurian but of course they have ‘investigated’ and pronounced on their own transphobic articles as being entirely acceptable…that’s ok then, it’s those bloody transgender types moaning about their right to exist again, meanwhile all the CIS journos, TERFs, GC haters, evangelists, Tories, Republicans and fascists will just have that debate without them…hosted by the MSM of course, because it’s controversial innit.

There's no convincing bigots.
I saw their pathetic defense of the choice of words. As we all know, words have power.

If they're going to spout their propaganda we explain why it's wrong should other readers see it, then drop them in a sewer and put the lid back on.

No more clickbait, they're now ignored, the ultimate punishment for journalists.

Hmm, I hadn't seen this. Looks like I shall be unfollowing them.

Thanks for the heads up.

It's possible over the past few months they've learnt a lesson and taken a better tone - but I've not been checking and their response when it was first flagged to them was poor.
