Well, to be fair, if maybe Klein’s “knowledgeable sources” aren’t actually all that knowledgeable:

"I saw an episode of Matlock in a bar last night. The sound was down, but I think I got the gist of it." -Ezra Klein's legal credentials

It’s outrageous, egregious, preposterous! And yet … it would explain so much.

The best part is that @VoxDotCom will never learn from its mistakes. So the hilarity will continue until the money dries up.

This may not be the most public yet of Ezra’s many humiliations, but he’ll get there someday. Keep reaching for the stars, Ezra!
