Sure does. Like when far-left Rolling Stone magazine fabricated a story about an on-campus rape.Or when the left-leaning mainstream media pushed the false narrative about the Duke lacrosse players stripper scandal without bothering to validate the story, and ended up looking like fools (which they were).Leftie “news” media is not as pure as you claim.
I had a boss who did this exact thing to me at, ah, a large semiconductor company who shall remain nameless. I told him I wanted to transfer to a different group, he wrote a letter to the new group manager and cr@pped all over me.
Or he could’ve called him a “r e t a r d” on his blog.
