    Redactions are not how news media works. Just admit to using the wrong word.

    And just so we’re clear, you’re saying this article claims Newsom will have to apologize… For being defamed?

      Read the article if it wasn’t clear to you whom I was talking about. It should be very clear. I’m sorry I used a term meaning to remove or edit text from a previously created document which is standardly done for legal purposes.

        I didn’t read the article. Context matters, just using pronouns without context or knowing others share yours will cause miscommunications. As will misusing terms.

          The onus is on you to read the article if you are commenting about it. It’s like showing up to a book club and asking who, when someone said “I can’t believe he stole the car!”

          “I didn’t read the article.”

          Okay then read it or don’t participate in conversations that you’re walking blind into? What the fuck lol
