It won't happen again.ĭid I miss a good one? Shoot me an email at and I'll update the piece when I feel like it*.Julia Ioffe and her Campaign of Lies about Russia It was a tasteless, offensive tweet that I regret and have deleted. It was a crass joke that I genuinely regret. But her apology tweets (sent after doubling down) received 202 Rts and 3.1K mentions and 95 Rts and 881 mentions, registering at 15.3 and 9.3 Ioffes respectively.Īll that said, I do regret my phrasing and apologize for it. Alas, the tweet was deleted, so we have no way of knowing what the ratio was. Ioffe was fired from POLITICO for a tweet implying Donald Trump was sleeping with his daughter Ivanka. I have to say, I feel less safe as a journalist in America these days than I ever did in Russia. (Alright, this one wasn't badly ratio'ed. feels "less safe" than Russia for a journalistĤ823 RTs and 6.1K mentions. I guess now that Trump defeated ISIS he needs a new group to scare his constituents with: MS-13. In which Ioffe accused Trump of using MS-13 as a bogeyman. Was supporting an anti-Semitic man for president, someone who emboldened and played footsie with the alt-right, a reasonable trade for his allegedly pro-Israel policies.Ĩ5 RTs and 1.6K mentions.

Julia Ioffe OctoTrump-supporting Jews are responsible for the synagogue shootingĤ751 RTs and 10K mentions, and two RTs and 48 mentions. I will add, though, that it is not a coincidence that the number of anti-Semitic attacks has jumped nearly 60% in 2017-the biggest one-year increase in recent history-while this administration has systematically pulled back resources from countering domestic extremism.
This has been a very emotional and painful time, but I absolutely should not have gone with such hyperbole on the air. I clarified and apologized on air, but I’ll say it again here. In a CNN appearance following the Pittsburgh synagogue terror attack, Ioffe told host Jake Tapper that "This president has radicalized so many more people than ISIS ever did." Ioffe then apologized on Twitter, only to immediately make it clear she wasn't sorry. Julia Ioffe DecemThe ISIS apology/non-apologyģ96 RTs, 3.1K mentions and 641 RTs, 2.1K mentions. If you want me respect you, please respect me, too.)Īlso, I find the assumption that someone could only not be made merry by Christmas because they are a bad, angry, or unhappy person deeply…interesting. You, too." But the omnipresence of Christmas for a whole month is deeply wearying and alienating to some of us who do not celebrate. (For the record, I always say "Thank you.

The impetus for this piece, in which Ioffe (who's Jewish) demands holiday well-wishers stop wishing her a "Merry Christmas." "Don't wish me Merry Christmas"Ģ65 RTs, 5.4K mentions. To demonstrate why Ioffe deserves such a dubious distinction, here are a few of her most famous takes, complete with the ratio at the time of publication.
JULIA IOFF STILL EMPLOYED AFTER TERRIBLE TWEET SERIES
The namesake of this new unit is of course GQ correspondent Julia Ioffe, famed for racking up a series of very bad ratios in the span of a few days this October. Which is why I bring you the Ioffe, measured as the number of mentions divided the number of retweets. The higher the ratio, the more people are mocking, rather than sharing, a take.īut for too long we Twitteratti have lacked a precise unit of measurement for just how bad a tweet is. It's generally a good barometer for how much Twitter agrees or disagrees with a sentiment. For those not versed in Twitter lingo, a "ratio" occurs when very few people retweet or like a tweet, compared to a far larger number of people who quote-tweet or respond to the tweet.
