14. As others have noted ...

It's really poor strategy to attack MJ's reporting on anything conservative, as any attack will draw more eye-balls to the story ... eye balls that would have been unlikely to have seen the original reporting.

This reminds me of a time when BabyGirl 1SBM came running into the house and emphatically stated: "Dad, I don't care what anyone says ... I didn't break Mrs. X's window."

Me: "I hadn't heard about any broken window. Who is Mrs. X? And where does she live?"

Had she not "played defense", it is unlikely that the broken window would have came to my attention.
