[you assume the movie is 100% factual without Eastwood’s response to this issue.
There’s a lot of speculation already on this thread. Eastwood is an ethical guy. let’s hear from him and stop making up BS.]
I am addressing what eastwood should do as an ethical person I believe he is, not HER behavior. If she slept with the guy, let him say so or tell us it was apochrophyl
Clint just needs to pull a Schiff and Reid. I heard it from a source that I cannot reveal.
This thread is beginning to stray from the post.
Only the living can be defamed.
What a relief for my children
You're saying she's green, like the chick Captain Kirk boinked in that Star Trek episode?
No wait, that's chlorophyll.
Can’t defame the dead
That's right. Eastwood heard it from a whistleblower.
She died “peaceably in her sleep” in September 2001 and , BTW, she reportedly had undisclosed health issues. Almost sounds like the Georgia equivalent of Arkincide. Wonder what the real back story it?
Scruggs may have been a hard-charging reporter that got caught barking up the wrong tree, but she was also a flirting, flaunting alcoholic that got drunk senseless hanging around in cop bars.
If Eastwood took licence, it wasn’t much of a stretch.
Umm, it is “based on a true story”, not a documentary. And Hollywood loves to take creative license, otherwise we would be bored to sleep at the theater. As for the concern of the “Hollywood Trope” of female reporters sleeping with sources to get stories, would that be like when NYT reporter Ali Watkins slept with Senate Intelligence Committee leaker James A. Wolfe to get stories? Let’s get real, women use sex to get what they want all the time.
AJC also piled onto the smear of the Covington kids.
“Was one of the best”
Except they railroaded an innocent man
No but he’s going to say that he defamed the newspaper. The newspaper is not dead.
Some female journalist claims “we never sleep with people for stories”. Right never in the history of journalism has that ever happened.
Eastwood should say he has information from an informed anonymous source. ;-)

EXACTLY! EFF EM as if THEY care about accuracy? Pigs, all o of them.
We all know they screw and drug their way through their careers and life. Not shocking.
Within the last two years, there was a news article about a female reporter who did sleep with a government worker to get a story. I believe she worked for the NYT. Does anyone remember that story?
