Summary
<p>Gina, host of "Morning Sedition" on All Things Re-Considered, shares an update regarding the dinosaur emoji story from Episode 3 (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Latb4tOUG-0&t=0s">https://youtu.be/Latb4tOUG-0</a>)<br /> <br /> All Things Re-Considered received an interesting critique about the trans dinosaur emoji story we analyzed in Episode 3. We criticized the story for failing to include events explaining why feminists (so-called T*RFs) used the dinosaur emoji in September 2021. YouTube user "Fake Chuck" claimed NPR's story DID provide the background information and he shared a link to prove it.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately for Fake Chuck, the link he provided was not to the story NPR ran, but to a former version of the story. While this former version does mention David Lammy's dinosaur insult and feminists' subsequent embrace of dinosaur emojis, NPR chose to redact this information when it released the story on its website and to public radio stations for broadcast. Knowing this is quite enlightening.<br /> <br /> You can view this episode at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABiQYnlRpB4&t=27s</p>
