According to the Washington journalist, she has been warned of death threats for posting the tweets about Kobe Bryant.
“To the 10,000+ people who have commented and emailed me with death threats, please take a moment and read the story – which was written 3+ years ago, and not by me”.
“That folks are responding with rage and threats toward me (someone who didn’t even write the piece but found it well-reported) speaks volumes about the pressure people come under to stay silent in these cases”.
“If your response to a news article is to resort to harassment and intimidation of journalists, you might want to consider that your behavior says more about you than the person you’re targeting”.
She deleted the tweets due to the violence.
