DAVE PORTNOY PULLS OFF BRILLIANT TACTIC TO STYMIE WASHINGTON POST HIT PIECE:

During the call, Portnoy called out Heil for saying Portnoy had made “misogynistic comments” and displayed “other problematic behavior.” He called her out for seemingly having her opinion made up and for not treating him fairly. She defended herself by saying her opinion was not made up, but she was using a scare tactic in order to get the company to respond to her email.

The end result is they agreed to speak the next morning.

The bottom line is that when the article is released, at least some people will now know the exact process for how the Portnoy hit piece was made, which will allow them to evaluate the article more fairly.

Always good to see how the sausage gets made:
