Goose Cooked: Bernie Bails On Platner

Victory Girls Blog is a blog rather than an established newsroom, and this piece uses strongly partisan commentary alongside limited independent reporting. A named author and attribution of some statements provide modest transparency, but the article offers little direct verification or response from the person accused.
