A story on a local organization reaching out to help the unhoused in my current area. The director of the organization is quoted using the term “unhoused”, but the reporter (or their editor) decided to use the more charged term “homeless” in the by-line and the article.

    One final follow up on this statement:

    … I think we do a disservice to the people directly suffering from homelessness/addiction/mental health by misdirecting our frustrations towards the journalists increasing awareness of the problem.

    Today the same reporter had a great story about a trans woman who fled Florida with her partner to settle in this area. So you are 100% correct and I need to chill TF out a bit…
