Papers do not support or endorse guest opinions. Wemple s article clearly states that, and quotes the OpEd editor on that. Try reading. Try learning what OpEd actually means.
The Post was not a defendant. Doesn't matter how many denials you make, or how much obfuscation.
I've read the Heard/ACLU piece. Depp is nowhere mentioned. And really, she should have openly stated he was a fucking lousy wife beater. Because he was. Her OpEd was entirely too much tap-dancing around that reality.
And you still cannot square the US verdict with the UK one, where a stronger legal defense was made. Heard was abused and beaten, and all Depp's money couldn't buy him a rejection of that reality in the UK. Good thing his hands aren't really scissors, eh?
