She's been caught in some stealth edits and other unethical practises when trying to push a specific narrative. I don't trust her reporting very much after following her work during the Depp-Heard trial in '22. It is unfortunate that her need to push her, or her publishers, agenda appears to be more important than honest reporting, and I'm saying this as a very left-leaning, queer person.
(//Edited to correct the year of the Depp-Heard trial. Covid times were strange and it all blends together.)
What did she do during Depp v. Heard?
She was staunchly pro-Heard, which in and of itself isn't a problem. However, she lied about reaching out to pro-Depp commentators (some of whom were lawyers) for comments for a piece she wrote, and the article was then stealth-edited after she got called out by several commentators.
Together with her later insistence that she did not share a meme calling Biden a war criminal, only to later admit to doing exactly that, I don't find her reporting particularly trustworthy. I try to verify her facts from other sources, and I mostly avoid her opinion pieces.
Ah, now that does start to ring a bell. Thank you.
