Kind of like when your magazine tried to destroy the Duke Lacrosse team.

Baseless... Just like the trash they put out to destroy guy just becalse they could

If anything it won’t portray them harshly enough.

People used to enjoy Eastwood.. 120 years ago..

Of course the media cares more about the journalist’s portrayal in the movie, than the man who’s life was destroyed. Oh yes, once again the press is the real victim here.

You are defending the liars.

Welcome

That's gonna be a 'yikes' from me

Lol 🤣

The media is the bad guy. Sorry you have a problem with the truth.

We're going to need a bigger irony meter.

Go pound sand

Outlaw Josey Wales is a, gasp, conservative! Defender of truth and the The American Way, that’s right pardner, and enemy of bulls*t everywhere. Josey is a total stand up guy.

'Best true crime book in years!' NYC

They destroyed a hero's life and Don't like how the story is told ... They can go f**themselves along with the FBI

Clint got his info from the chair

The irony is dripping off of this considering what she tried to do to Jewell.

irony at its finest.
