The Intercept, the same rag that ratted out Reality Winner, is lying with headlines? Say it ain't so!

They fucked up. They admitted it. They apologized. And they paid her legal fees.

The real rags are the ones that fuck up and don't even issue corrections or admit wrongdoing

And yet, she was still sentenced to five years in prison. Legal fees aren't going to make up for that.

I'm no native englisher, but doesn't "hanging" here imply "having been hanged" rather than, what I suspect was intended - "hanging out"?

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

yup. saying "we'll get together and hang" doesn't usually mean a meeting at the gallows.
