After Major League Baseball (MLB) moved its All-Star Game out of Georgia, USA Today “stealth-edited” a March 31 op-ed by activist and failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams that said she “can’t argue” with boycotts.
The secretive edits, which were detected and disseminated on Twitter by Republican operative Matt Whitlock on April 23, softened her language and blamed Republicans for the MLB boycott. They were not initially accompanied by an editor’s note. One appears to have been added sometime after April 21.
