She claims to have slept with all 4 members of The Beatles. Methinks most of the stories she tells are nonsense, but she suits the prevailing narrative for a certain segment of the media.
- aortega 5y agoShe also claimed she entered area 51. Likely she was playing with the interviewer to see how much bullshit she would believe.
- Freskis 5y agoGood point. So perhaps she is a genius at social-engineering and managed to "play" the journalist by appealing to the journalist's pre-conceived notions about her.
- aortega 5y agoYou dont need to be a genius to play a journalist.
- crocwrestler 5y ago>she figured out how to set off US missiles from a phone booth Uhuh, yeah, ok
- Someone 5y agoBut that’s easy. If the writer fact-checked this article (did she even talk with the real Susy Thunder?) before publishing it, it would be very short, and wouldn’t get as many clicks. That isn’t in the interest of the writer.
- aortega 5y agoYeah, the writer cooperated in writing bullshit, because bullshit sells. She didn't fact check a single thing on purpose.
- ryantgtg 5y agoEntertainment sells. Putting a “well actually” after each statement by the subject would reduce the entertainment value. This article is a narrative of the subject’s life told from various perspectives. The stories conflict, and as readers we can decide where the truth lies.
- hguant 5y agoIt's The Verge; they aren't really well known for giving a shit about technical accuracy or fact checking.
