KUOW uses independent journalists for information, even *invites them onto KUOW shows*. But in yet another occurrence in Sound Politics' and their team's continued descent into platforming conservatives and deplatforming real journalists, they now publicly lie and mock their industry peers.

Their reporter, Cat Smith, then said, "we actually did have information in our story saying that Barnes' travel was basically in line with what Diaz and other past chiefs have done. It's a lot of travel. The position in Seattle, traveling is part of the job." One problem: They didn't have that info.

I see KUOW reporters, like Scott Greenstone, out working all the time—it's just sad that their editors and hosts think it's an appropriate use of their listeners' contributions to platform people who make unsubstantiated claims in order to insult a hardworking veteran journalist like me.
