Because I'm not interested in being sued for defamation. Even if I'm totally right and they're totally wrong, they'll bury me in legal fees. I'm not rich enough to afford the law.
There a simple incantation u can mutter its the same shield the press uses its called "allegedly". Otherwise talk to the press themselves doesnt matter who even if they are fucking tiny af doesnt matter then post the link to said article everywhere.
Idk if you can say allegedly, when you're the person doing the allegation 🤔
Not to mention, OP didn't specify where they live. Who knows defamation law for the whole world?
