She's grossly, one-sidedly misrepresented stories that I had enough insider information on to know how wrong she was. I don't know if this is was Dan was referring to (or just a difference of opinion), but it's hard for me to trust anything she writes now. That said, there isn't really anything contentious in this article, so that's good.
Her column’s are opinion pieces, not news reports.
From her own page on The Record's website: "Luisa D’Amato is a Waterloo Region Record reporter and columnist.". None of her recent articles are in the Opinions section. None of the articles I was originally referring to are in the Opinion section. All of those original articles have actually had her name removed from them at this point, although they still contain her email and Twitter handler at the end of the articles. If her pieces are truly opinion articles then they shouldn't pretend to be otherwise. And regardless, the categorization absolve her from being responsible for what she writes (it would just make it slightly less bad).
