| It’s not Riedel’s job to shut up, it’s quite the contrary in fact. Whatever you think of him, he’s a type of journalist, for better or worse. The fact that this email was “news” is evidenced by the fact that we’re writing and talking about it. If people buy a paper or click on a link to read about this, good for him. That’s what he’s getting paid for. So while he might be an asshole, it’s not fair to CALL him an asshole for writing about this story. |
