This is the big one. The thing that pissed me off so effing much that it spawned an entire new project. Ok fine I admit it, Where There's Woke is a spite project. The NYT Daily Podcast did an episode on the James Webb Telescope name controversy called "When the Culture Wars Came for NASA." It's fucking terrible journalism. Just awful. Already with just the title. How about "When the Entrenched Powers at NASA Refused to Budge in the Face of Very Reasonable Concerns from the LGBTQIA+ Community It Already Marginalizes." This first part is about the Daily episode itself, and the article it was based on, with some preliminary debunking but largely accepting the coverage on its own terms. The next part will look in detail at the internal process at NASA and what the history ACTUALLY tells us about James Webb.
