A statement that someone has said, ie "mentioned," that they have a "distaste" for certain noble nouns is not comment, fair or unfair. It is a statement of something that either happened or didn't.
It didn't.
It was vile and demonizing, and it didn't happen. X simply did not describe herself in that way.
Now, if brees had said that in his opinion X couldn't be a moral relativist or have said things she DID say, and have certain values, that would be a comment. Its fairness could be discussed.
But a statement that she said, ie mentioned, in a self-characterization, a distaste for certain things is judged not by fairness but by truthfulness.
If it is true, it is fair.
Is it true? did X say that?
No.
So purporting that she did is not fair. It is worse than not fair. It a simple untruth.
The only defense is the extrapolation one, which you sensibly eschew.
It is, of course, a made up ugly notion attributed to X herself speaking about herself. Lovely.
All the excuses have been lovely, too. |
