So that leads us to the real question. Is Larry McShane that big of an idiot? Did he get suckered in by Orena's lawyers and not check the facts first? Or did he get paid off to plant that article?
Good question.
I'd think his reputation would be on the line. But as an old guy who is about to retire (I don't think he's a kid, he's been around a long time) he may not give a fuck and did a favor.
Either that, or he's the worst fucking reporter in recent decades. How do you NOT vet (a front-page headline) no less that is as explosive as that. Calling a mob boss a rat when he isn't one.
If Junior was still on the streets, this is the type of jerk off that would get baseball batted one evening. Junior would take this VERY personally I assure you!
Completely irresponsible journalism.
