This reckless blog that published on
@HuffPo would never have passed the most basic journalistic vetting at any other outlet whose model wasn't to allow, in many cases, bloggers in their mom's basement to publish whatever they want with zero editorial oversight. For 2 years..1 reply 17 retweets 223 likesShow this thread -

To this day, when you google my name, false accusations of sexual assault come up on the 1st page. Luckily I met the woman of my dreams who instantly realized it wasn't true (and I'm lucky enough to be marrying in less than 2 weeks). But that disgusting lie will permanently...
