Not sure if my original comment made it up here or not so forgive me if I'm repeating: Many of us who covered this "story" did not have a choice as editors and publishers latched on to the "news" basically because other outlets were covering so heavily and presumably, they didn't want to be left out. Not that it's any excuse. I was sickened by the idea that this was a news story and that I had to put my name on it. I also noticed that (as far as I could tell) OPB didn't touch the story at all. Good on them!
