That's not journalism, that's an opinion piece ripped from an article (or: editorial). "Journalism" at least makes an attempt to research. And writing about somebody without checking the facts and giving the person opportunity to comment - actually opens you up to libel claims.
Erastes, you do have grounds for a libel case right here, if you want it. (I had libel training today... go figure).
Seems like most "journalists" apply the lazy standards of bloggers these days. I'm flabbergasted.
