I linked the Nightline report in the article (aka the big comment at the top of the page); conveniently, you can find it under the word "Nightline." And as I said, I don't see how this more recent article, or any of these quotes you've pulled here, contribute to your argument that the two articles offer differing…

You gave me one link, which, yes, I read and responded to. Anyway, I'm going to go do something else now while you talk to yourself.

People sometimes get pardons when it's revealed they were convicted under false evidence. In fact, in many states that's the *only* way you're eligible. Sometimes people have the petty crimes they committed as juveniles expunged. Very rarely does someone (who is not a person of influence or with powerful friends) get…

Nightline's report was a face to face interview where Wahlberg responded directly to those allegations. It was conducted and published over eight years ago. He and his representatives have had numerous opportunities since to deny the facts presented in it—if not in the room, then any time after publication. If…

From the original prosecution sentencing memo on the night of the attack, Wahlberg told the cops, "You don't have to let him identify me, I'll tell you now that's the motherfucker whose head I split open!"

It is absolutely not a detail "many other press outlets were downplaying." It's a detail that has surfaced repeatedly in scores of stories about Wahlberg's violent past over a decade and change, and it's been repeated in the many recent articles about his pardon. As far as I can tell, the fact that he *wasn't*…

I'm sorry, I just want to clarify: You're accusing me of slander? For reporting that Mark Wahlberg blinded a guy—which, actually, I've personally never done, but has been reported for years, and often directly to Mark Wahlberg's face, where he's never denied it? Just want to make sure that's the soapbox you're on…

I'm not sure I've *ever* said Mark Wahlberg blinded a guy, let alone "repeatedly." Find me that article, because I can't.

Plenty of people get pardons for violent assaults they were convicted of by their own gleeful admission? Do tell.

I agree with UnsignedHypeman, but I will also urge you to check out Burial/Four Tet's "Moth" b/w "Wolf Cub"—the latter of which I rank among one of my favorite musical works, possibly ever.

I fixed it. Don't send us anthrax.

CLINT EASTWOOD.

Agreed. I said this approximately 25 Clint Eastwoods ago.

CLINT EASTWOOD.

I've written many lengthy stories, on a near-daily basis now, that delve into those victims' accounts you're accusing me of discounting. And here you're implying that I'm doing my own "victim-blaming," simply because of a throwaway phrase in a headline that wearily acknowledges the numbing frequency of those…

I edit these, you know.

Hey, that guy brought it up.

Clint Eastwood only yells at chairs. His struggles with stools are personal.

That's because we ask everyone the same 11 Questions; it's the entire premise of the article.

You should read the intro.
