I'm afraid that was many years ago

(or maybe just a week)

I know this is late in the game for this comment but I was thinking.. it wasn't in the paper, but her NYT blog. I think most papers blogs are an outlet where the reporter has more freedom to give opinon and such.

I agree with you on this, and also it's in the 'Entertainment' section. I don't know, but I really doubt they are held to the same standards on sources and stuff as the World and National desks are.

Personally, I think she knows more than she lets on, but you know that this is not a game.

Along those lines though - there was an interesting post yesterday from LO:

He is now off to do videos of Ax Murderers. Why would he feel it's necessary to say he's not making any more LG15 videos ? very odd. He could, you know, just stop making them.

Yes, LO is definitely not playing a game.

Can you imagine the number of messages he received about LG15? Especially considering he was embroiled in the center of all the "ZOMG she's fake!!!" I think a public announcement made perfect sense.
