Yahoo is running her story too.

Actually this article backs up my point that the only source of her "lies" about the chasiidish community are found in the post article. Presumably, the Yahoo reviewer had a copy of her book since the author quoted from it.

Whats the point of this thread? to rehash everything we have said on the other two threads??

She is a sad lost girl, end of story. There is nothing we can do to change her but make a kiddush hashem of our lives.

Actually, you can't assume the writer had a copy of the book. They could just have excerpts provided by the publisher.

Unfortunately, reporters often simply pick up items from other stories. So, it could say one thing in her book. Reporter A gets it wrong, then Reporter B, C, D, and E pick up the error from Reporter A's story. It's like an echo chamber and it happens all the time, especially in online journalism.

having this woman on yahoo news made me feel compelled to give a lengthy comment, this is just so sad and pathetic and a terrible kiddush Hashem. I'm embarrassed for my non Jewish neighbors to read this!
