The reason Piers has a “world exclusive” on this isn’t because the woman was particularly hard to find or that she was picky about who can interview her. It’s because the vast majority of journalists wouldn’t ever do it. Just so we’re clear lol

The internet has truly rotted people's brains. Everyone on here wants access to "receipts" they're not entitled to see. Sources come forward to journalists, provide them with evidence, and then we fact check, corroborate, and report it. That's literally how it has always worked.

If you know anything at all about psychology, you'll know how someone can spun into a fearful rage by over-stepping their boundaries. Zayn is asking them to go, they repeatedly don't and stay at his hotel room door — not respecting his boundary — so he gets more and more mad.

That's journalistic integrity and the basis of all (trustworthy and established) newsrooms. You, as a reader, are not entitled to all the information behind a story just because you want to see it. Some of it is protected under anonymity. Some of it is legally sensitive.

If you don't trust journalism that's your prerogative but read like one article about how it works before you start demanding things you have no right to. And you're more than welcome to do the legwork yourself without the legal help of a newsroom and get sued lol

It's actually incredibly manipulative, because Jake and Logan are pretending to be the pacifiers, while actually they're just stirring up the situation. Abusers do it all the time — push you until you snap, then tell you to calm down when you finally do. Ew tbh.
