Talk:Stacey Patton

Should there be a 'controversies' section?
Just wondering if anyone thinks there should be a 'controversies' section in this article, perhaps referencing Patton's penchant for publishing racist anti-white screeds like this one: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/kyle-rittenhouse-proof-white-women-183033289.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.95.149.108 (talk) 20:26, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

 * I support your proposal.


 * On November 15, 2021, the judge dropped the illegal gun possession charge against Kyle Rittenhouse because his gun was long-barrel and not short-barrel, which made it legal for him to possess.

 * However, 9 days later, on November 24, 2021, Yahoo News published the above writing by Patton, where she falsely wrote that Rittenhouse's possession of the gun was “illegal."


 * This constitutes defamation, and is the reason that Yahoo deleted the piece.


 * The fact that Patton is a journalism professor makes this especially notable. If anyone should know enough to not commit this kind of defamation, it should be her.
