Eric Litke
Fact Check Editor, USA Today
Dear Mr. Litke:Thanks for updating your editor's note: "During court proceedings, Spears alleged that the 13-year conservatorship was ´abusive´ and that she should freed (sic) from it."You are now implicitly acknowledging the #FreeBritney movement was right in its approach and central claim: That Britney Spears was subject to a conservatorship that abused her physically and monetarily, against her will, as she herself declared. Not just that documents "appear to endorse elements of the #FreeBritney movement." Otherwise, it seemed strange to end such a positive and beneficial conservatorship.Anyway, the USA Today "fact check" headline appears now even more ridicule than before: "Fact check: Britney Spears' 12-year-long conservatorship is not taking advantage of her." And the fact the people that you abusively and falsely called "conspiracy theorists" had it right, and you, the "disinformation experts," were wrong, proves the fact checking system it's broken. If you have screwed up publicly on a non-political, non-partisan matter, how much you'll get wrong on politics or covid? So, that's why I'm addressing Baybars Örsek, from Poynter. And Paul Resnick, a consultant to Facebook’s misinformation team.If you have the power to falsely turn someone a "conspiracy theorist," or falsely claim President Biden don't look his watch when he does, you and your colleagues must be accountable for all the power that you're using in a wrong way.Nothing personal with you. I would have loved to call you, but I have preferred to have a conversation that is clear from the beginning that it has been recorded, such as emails.Maybe I have been wrong, but I had a very bad impression of your office after seeing tweets like this one, by Ella Lee, congratulating the mess by Devon Link like superb fact checking work "debunking" the #FreeBritney "conspiracy theory."https://twitter.com/ByEllaLee/status/1286058760709054464 I'm going to make public this email.Sincerely,Tomoo Terada (username at Twitter: Gary Webb)

Me gusta la buena conversación, sea personal o en línea, pero borraré sin contemplaciones cualquier insulto. Cuando he criticado a alguien siempre he mostrado las razones para hacerlo. Y jamás me he ocultado en el anonimato, como hacen muchos en línea.
