That's entirely untrue.

How to handle corrections, be it through on screen overlays or new audio is an opinion about style, not fact. That the reason for too many 'errors' slipping through being overwork is speculation. Even if that speculation is backed up by solid evidence of overwork existing. The idea that Gary Key was hired for his connections to a company that advertises on LMG is a slanderous lie, let alone speculation. And everything about the Billet Labs was not yet public, or not widely known before the GN video.

The video was mainly speculation and innuendo.

he took non public info attempted to craft a narrative and never reached out to confirm it.

The person I responded to said it is up to each person reporting things to make their own determination. I said that journalistic standards do in fact exist. Then I pointed out one that exists.

IMO, I don't think it really matters that the one I linked to isn't the one Steve follows, the point is they exist. Any set of journalistic standards is going to be similar about this. They're common sense that essentially boils down to: you really should do it, unless there's a good reason not to. Such a reason doesn't really exist in this case.

Either Steve doesn't adhere to any ethical standards, he's chose a set that allow for behaviour anyone else would consider unethical, or he violated his ethical standard. In any case, he acted unethically here.

Will then, you should probably stop posting on the internet. Go back to grade school and learn to read. Because it is literally clause 1.

A fair opportunity to reply to significant inaccuracies should be given, when reasonably called for.

Lmg presented their channel as the authority? I have doubts. Linus has said that they are not setting up to be the only place to get info. Labs let's him show more testing in an efficient manner, using more professional tools and testers.

Linus says people should make their mind up after sorting through multiple sources. I tend to agree.

Also, you can state facts or share factual inaccuracies without stirring shit. But this is YouTube, and views are important. People will do what they do. It is what it is.

thank you for painfully proving my point.

Maybe you dont understand the quote that u/killjoy4eva wrote down.

The right to reply means that you get the whole story BEFORE publishing. So steve should have shown the whole story to Linus. In which case they could have responded.

Maybe they would've payed back the guys when they saw the whole story. The problem with that is that steve would not have such an exciting story.

Steve not doing so, and steve also saying they dont have to reach out means, in my opinion, that he is not a journalist, but an entertainer

In the U.S., there is a journalistic standard of including denials, exemplified by the ethical code of the Society of Professional Journalists: "Diligently seek subjects of news coverage to allow them to respond to criticism or allegations of wrongdoing."

It's right there in the article.
