I am the person who skewered the "feminism excuse" and I agree ... whomever you are, those were great posts. As a shining example of her inadequacy and far, far removal from real journalism, I offer the recent column (since removed from the TL) in which she states she won't use the space to discuss her personal lawsuit with Flood but then ... discusses her personal lawsuit with Flood. People ... you want to follow this leader? Think you're actually going to learn something valuable or advance your career? Then that's your own damn fault.
