This story provided the perfect opportunity for HN's seedy MAGA crowd to pour out of the dirt to tell us how terrible reporters are, the "MSM", etc. What a delightful set of ridiculous anecdotes and tales of personal awakening.

"The day I stopped listening to the lyin' MSM and started getting all of my bullshit from blogs, infowars and Joe Rogan." - HN

Because of a story that we know close to nothing about. By one side giving their very biased take. Because an investigative reporter literally did their job.

Note that they didn't get him to reveal his identity and then break his trust. They literally simply did what anyone could do and did a small amount of investigation, which surely anyone plying such "death threats" would do.

And of course the death threat thing is farce. No, he isn't worried about death threats. He's worried about professional and personal embarrassment.

LOL.
