That sort of vindictive obsession seems to pop up a lot in the media. I remember that time that Newsweek published photos of some old guy's house and declared to the world that he was the secret bitcoin billionaire Satoshi Nakamoto.

She eventually shutup about it, presumable after Newsweek got tired of repeating "We stand behind our reporters".
