I suspected as much. I don’t know why they put as much stock into some of their anons as they did. I got the impression that there were plenty of people– particularly recently–that just wrote whatever because they knew it would get published. I suspect that this one was also someone just telling them what they wanted to hear, and that one went along with it.
They opened themselves up to that can of worms though. They based what they were publishing on information that was impossible to verify and from people whose background they didn’t know.
And then it backfired.
