Did that involve lying or fabrication? Doesn't look like it.

So what? He confirms 2 of the 5 are accurate (Btw 3 more come forward in the 4/11 edition of N.E.). The reporter currently works for WaTimes. You want to act like he’s culpable?

Cult of personality

Is THAT all you got?!?!

Johnson sounds like a FReeper!

I know this must be a very difficult day for you GGG, could you perhaps point to which headline has been changed regarding your boy Cruz' suspected inability to keep his pecker in his pants?

You clearly have no idea what this even means.

In the news business, the reporter sends in the story, and it gets edited, and a headline writer puts on a headline. Reporters often disagree with the headline. It makes for many arguments in the newsroom.

Apparently this guy overruled the headline guy and it went to print that way.

Of course any editor is going to be ticked at someone who does this, but there's nothing Illegal or even unethical about it. It's insubordinate at worst - the equivalent of a kid breaking curfew.

Anyone who tries to make hay out of this demonstrates their cluelessness about journalism.
