Excerpt:
Data Republican (small r), whose mad genius database skills have laid bare the corruption and self-dealing between Washington and an army of NGOs, was the subject of a weekend hit piece in the Salt Lake Tribune — and her husband might have gotten the worst of it.
On Sunday, the Trib’s “emerging news reporter,” Brock Marchant, published an article that was little more than a summary of an earlier Rolling Stone piece that Jennica Pounds (Data r) says contains “multiple factual inaccuracies.”
Rather than interview Pounds directly for his report — she isn’t difficult to reach — Marchant contacted her husband, Brent, through his work email. He did so late on Saturday night, mere hours before the 6 a.m. Sunday publication.
Jennica posted that Brent “responded professionally” and explained that “his business activities are entirely separate” from the Data Republican website but that Jennica would reply later. “As a mother, my family responsibilities naturally took priority on a weekend, and I was unable to immediately respond to your inquiry.”
Also, Jennica’s deafness and autism often require assistance for clear communication.
“Instead of allowing me a fair opportunity to reply, you chose to rush publication,” she continued, proving “you prioritize sensationalism over accuracy, fairness, and responsible journalism.”
