Last Monday afternoon, Entertainment Weekly posted a story in its Books section with the ominous headline: "Hugo Award nominations fall victim to misogynistic, racist voting campaign."

Within a few hours, the headline changed to: "Correction: Hugo Awards voting campaign sparks controversy."

That's some correction. So what happened?

the EW reporter didn't bother to reach out to Correia, or anyone else involved, to check her facts

Facts frequently ruin the narrative, so they must be ignored.

This is just another episode where the quality of one's work is subservient to the plumbing or skin color of the author/creator.

It's a prejudice that permeates the "culture" and is why, to a large degree, we can't do ANYTHING anymore.

More than you need know about the “reporter”.
“I’m a writer.
I write about pop culture and feminism. Strong affinity for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West”.

Stories that fits reporters' and editors' ideological predispositions get rushed through into print with little skepticism or careful review, and apparently with no actual fact checking.

Or grammar checking for that matter.
