I can see her sitting there, in front of her laptop saying

"It all makes sense now"

then typing furiously. The whole article, in one go. No editing, posting immediately to buzzfeed in the desperate hope to "break" the "story".

Truly, she should be working for the AP.

What's funnier / sadder is that "journalists" from Gawker and Vice were asking people here to write articles about FYAD's demise as well. So it was like an arms race for bad journalism, and Buzzfeed won.

You should let Gawker write about it when you shut it down next week, and Vice the week after. Give everyone a chance to shine.
