Is it not a fabrication when you take something that was clearly a hypothetical statement and report it as if you overheard it at a strategy meeting? Both Ben and Sarah's stories represented that this wasn't a hypothetical, but rather a plan that would be carried out against Sarah and her children immediately.
IMO, that is a fabrication.

- downandout 12y agoExcept for Sarah and Ben, along with every derivative article and news report published on this since this started.
- nailer 12y agoTitle of Buzzfeed article: "Uber Executive Suggests Digging Up Dirt on Journalists" Even Ben's own quotes in that article indicate it wasn't a serious suggestion.
- waterlesscloud 12y agoRight. What he did not do was present it as if it came from an Uber corporate strategy meeting.
- likeagrownup 12y agoAre you related to Uber in any fashion? Because honestly, that's some bullshit that you just wrote write there. Nobody said it like they were at a strategy meeting. It was reported as it was: evidence that Emil is a shitbag who threatens reporters, and works at a company where that sort of thing is considered a fine course of action.
