So wait, you not only think a BuzzFeed reporter known for being on the politics beat for years is somehow interested in who is editor-in-chief at a Canadian fashion magazine, but you also think anything about retelling a factual story in a critical light is slander?
How do you think this went down? How did the person co-opting McLeod approach? I’ve got the scoop of the century, they said? Do you think he fumbled his iPad excitedly on the way to break this, in your words, obvious oppo? (Do you think he’d miss that?)
In general, and I’m not just talking to you here, if you don’t know how journalism works, maybe don’t comment on it nor speculate on its big moves. You say things like “bog standard” to communicate certainty, but your imagined narrative literally falls apart with ten seconds of critical thinking.
