This is about social media flame wars, since I neglected to highlight the sentence(s) that made the context clear.

“Reporters write anything,” she says. “Take my case, where I said—” But I don’t want to hear about her. “They hear something in the street,” I say. “Then they write it down.” “They work on deadlines,” she says. “If they miss their deadlines, they are fired. Who has time to ask questions?”
