I normally ignore this troll, but he's outright lying. Fabricating facts. I wasn't fired from TYT. I've never gotten paid by Fox News. Check with both of them. I'm sure he'll pass it off as "Joking," but this person works for @Gizmodo, an ostensible journalism outfit. @thetomzone 
I know the Extremely Online Ironic Style is super cool and subversive, but outright fabricating facts -- demonstrably lying -- would seem to cross a line. You know, if you're supposed to be a journalist or whatever. I guess my conception of journalism could be outdated, however
I get criticized all day, every day. I'm fine with that. Comes with the territory. But journalists simply making up facts to publicly smear me is different. I always thought journalists were not supposed to fabricate facts. Weird. I don't care how Funny and Ironic Online you are.
Just sent an email to the editor-in-chief of Gizmodo, Kelly Bourdet, to inquire about whether it's regarded as consistent with Gizmodo's journalistic philosophy for staff to outright fabricate facts on public fora. Looking forward to the answer, should be fascinating.
