Writer and programmer M.K. Fain joins Sasha White to discuss a December 8th article in The Atlantic entitled, “The Secret Internet of TERFs.” Kaitlyn Tiffany, the author of the piece, interviewed Fain both over email and the phone.   

M.K. Fain and I conduct a thorough forensic examination of The Atlantic article, which you can read here:

We go through it line by line, discussing each assertion as well as looking at Tiffany’s sources and following various links that she included in her piece.  We’re putting The Atlantic’s journalistic process under a microscope. 

We made every effort to provide a fair, honest and thorough assessment of each claim made in the article, and evaluate the sources that Tiffany relied on.
