Virgin Atlantic Faces Boycott Over Dylan Mulvaney Award (newsweek.com)

The quote was lifted from a Twitter parody account:

Ann Lesby, Ph.D., is a parody account on Twitter (say the last name, then first name, in that order – and you’ll get the joke). The joke is on “News”Week, which is so stupid to fall for this.

Ann Lesby’s bio once had her working at ACL University – There is no Rody, PA, nor is there an ACL University in Rody, PA.

The entire story is filled with quotes from anonymous social media accounts probably none of which have been verified.

The creative story writer has a BA in Fine and Studio Arts, and an MA in Arts Journalism. She is a gullible idiot who fell for this. Remember, professional journalism has layers and layers of fact checkers. Trust the Media.

The story writer is an idiot who pretends to produce journalism. Unless this really is what counts as journalism now, and sadly, that appears to be the case.
