Hertz may want to settle out-of-court in the mothers case, but even then these stories don't have the legs they used to. The attack on truth since Trump has been ongoing and severe, and I think most people are either a) in a head-space where everything seems to be falling apart, and so anything shy of video-taped murder is ignored, or b) in a head-space where nothing is real or true and the lamestream media is just manipulating everyone all the time with everything. In both cases, the public has been severed from it's own interest.
It's funny because I grew up watching movies where the good guy was often trying to get some proof to expose the bad guy, who was willing to do anything to stop the leak. But now? What happens in a world where no proof is believable? The entire equation goes out of balance, and politicians, ever the practical ones, respond to different incentives, and avoid issues like this one that don't play to anyone's base and antagonize money.
- tzs 5y agoOT: when you insert "[sic]" after something you quote that was misspelled in the original you are supposed to leave it misspelled. "[sic]" means "this spelling error is in the source". When you want to fix the error in the quote, the way to denote it is to replace the misspelled word with the correctly spelled word in square brackets, like this: > I was under a [stereotypical] impression that lawyers... This raises a question. In addition to "sic" in brackets meaning "this error is in the source" it also can be a verb meaning "set an animal to attack". What happens if someone misspells that, and you want to correct it when you quote them? Just putting it in brackets might be interpreted as you saying that the word before it is misspelled.
