What is shocking in all of this is Nick Harris’ shameless attempt to hijack the disagreement in a comical attempt to slander the person that has exposed him. He then made knowingly false allegations, which he subsequently deleted.
Couldn't agree more -- that was downright embarrassing on any level just as a human being interacting with others; as a supposed journalist it was outrageously unprofessional and pretty much proves conclusively that he ISN'T a professional.
Rabin got them because he turned their crusading moral piousness -- a sham proffered by people actually motivated to sell clicks, but without the balls to admit it (probably to themselves let alone others) -- against them.
Casting the first stone is something reporters do all the time because that's how news outlets make money. As long as they admit it, I have no real problem with it as long as their stone casting is based on (1) facts, that (2) they've researched and understand.
When it isn't, and when instead their justification for a story is their own personal crusade as a protected class (a "journalist") then they have every right to be called on the carpet by their readers, and Rabin bloody well did that.
They should take the L, but they don't because they suck at the job of actual journalism and won't/can't admit that they are simple shills. They're deluding themselves, but not us. Idiots.
This is why in my job I deal with reporters I trust only. The ones I don't don't get returned phone calls.
