Do you mean leaked info to Mary Carmichael?

It's possible a very well-paid rat might be occupying office space somewhere on Comm Ave/Bay State Rd.

I mean, there wasn't really anything leaked in this article. It just took the facts already out and then added quotes from people who don't like him to get more clicks.

Hohler is very good at the latter (I'm sure w/o opposition from his editor(s)). As an investigative journalist I'm sure he's very adept at finding the "right" people to talk to in order to create the desired effect of his articles.

Yes...BTW she's no longer at the Globe and is now writing in the biotech industry.

I always felt that Ms. Carmichael came from wherever she had been to do a hit job.Having attended both TF hearings and submitted a 1 page statement,I found it interesting that promised confidentiality and privacy was breached. Clearly there was someone on the inside that leaked supporting documentation to the Globe. Carmichael was a poor excuse for a journalist. In any event I wish Mike Lynch all the best; he treated me cordially at all times.There's a reason your winshield is bigger than your rearview mirror becausethe world is ahead of us and we needen't live in the past.

Guys...we're not gonna know what happens until some kid with a BC blog tells us. We might as well just ignore the other media outlets.

Trying to follow the narrative here... someone leaked supporting documentation and she changed it? Or do you believe she shouldn't have gone looking for this information and should have just trusted Colby Cohen's stories of what happened and what didn't happen? Good journalists kind of have the responsibility to go looking for reliable information and reporting on it; that's what they get paid to do.

Not changed it but by mixing uncorroborated hearsay with corroborated reports, she made the hearsay seem as factual as everything else. She also did not include the part where the TF looked into a number of these hearsay allegations and could not find any evidence they occurred.

I think here in FantasyLand nothing is actually corroborated (maybe it is if Colby Cohen says so). Anyway...

She simply got a copy of the report and reported what it said. She didn't pass it off as fact. Here's a quote directly from her:

"there are multiple sources quoted in the report, saying the same things consistently, even though they were interviewed separately"

Are we going back to the tin foil hat theory of feminist BC fans that made up stories and somehow got themselves planted into the pool of people interviewed for the task force to push their anti-BU men's hockey agenda? It was Andy Glass, in the library, with a candlestick!!!!!!!!!!

She also included unsubstantiated items from the appendix that could not be corroborated. The mixture of fact and possible fiction is the point.

OK.

At the end of the day, she did a pretty good job unearthing a document no one else did and reporting what was contained therein. But the smear campaign on her is nice too.

If you consider being on the receiving end of a leaked document "unearthing" ok then.
 
Re: BU 2013-2014 (Part III): Close your eyes, we're coming up on the end here...

I recall putting up her original report, which laid out the items---then her next day which was a tad sensationalist. I held up how she rewrote her original with an added zing - without bringing anything new. No new facts, no new interviews.
I also admitted reaching out to her with ideas that she use to unearth crap, as the whole affair was fukin embarrassing. She (it appeared from what she wrote) was unable to get others to talk to her and applied broad conjecture. Unfortunately.

No need to rehash this as she had her shot and came up empty.
