NY Times apparently already outed the author as male.
Now that the dust has settled on your post, are you rethinking it? Accepting this premise lends undeserved credibility to the NYT.
I wouldn't believe an ad for the cost of a cup of coffee, if it were printed in this rag.
The NYT reporter is responsible. She penned it, it ballooned, and if it is found out that she was jockeying for position with a hot-to-go fake exclusive, she is fired. She is probably 2 or 3 payments away from bankruptcy, over extended on credit and pressured herself into this act of falsehood. She might have a drinking problem, her marriage might be shutting down, she probably is vain, and greedy, maybe sociopathic. She has been watching Omarosa Manigault, read Woodward, and wants “some of that.”
>>NY Times apparently already outed the author as male.
But the Slimes think that male and female are a matter of opinion.
Oh, is the world’s most respected publication (/s) now doling out clues?
