Wow. Just watched @stoolpresidente 's press conference. It's even more apparent that the BI piece was an intentionally dishonest hit piece targeted at someone the author didn't like. The author took 8 months trying to dig up anything on Portnoy.
She ended up with 2 very weak claims related to admittedly consensual sex that weren’t worthy of a news story and then tried to go after advertisers. And Portnoy has now presented evidence those 2 claims were also false and it seems BI had access to at least some of the evidence.
I wrote about this b4 Portnoy’s press conference & additional evidence. My concern isn’t for Portnoy, who has resources & a platform to defend himself, but ppl targeted in a similar manner often don’t have that ability and can be destroyed. patreon.com/posts/58511291
Journalists/publications have immense power. With that power comes immense responsibility, but it’s increasingly clear they can’t be trusted w it. Many misused that power by covering for abusers like Harvey Weinstein 4 years. Now some abuse it by targeting people they don’t like.
