[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, I didn't realize that's what she got in trouble for previously. (And I support her being fired this time) Kobe Bryant WAS a rapist, so that's weird they wouldn't let her say it. Especially because the Washington Post was all in to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault (which they should have - sounds like he did it). When it's someone "cool" being accused of sexual assault, reporters aren't allowed to report that? Neat.[/quote]

Was she posting about his status as a rapist before he was recently deceased, or was she capitalizing on the recent drama to push her own narrative? Seems like punching down to attack someone that can't defend themselves. But hey, she is a "journalist" and can say whatever she wants without consequence because "journalism."[/quote]

Have you ever read an obituary?  They don't hold off on reporting on the negative of people's lives for 24 hours.  [/quote]

Was Somnez reporting on the obituary? On Twitter?[/quote]

No, she posted an article that Kobe had settled out of court on an accusation of non-consensual sex.   And she has every right to do so (First Amendment and all).[/quote]

She can say whatever she wants.  That doesn't mean she can keep her job for doing so.  Which is why she was just fired.  [/quote]
