I'm sorry I just can't believe this. The article is sourced like a "cousin of a friend of a friend of mine".

This is just too far beyond the pale.

>Wedding planner Georgie Mitchell visited a podcast called ‘Unfiltered Bride,’ and as she was chatting with co-presenter Beth Smith, she recalled a story told by a wedding make-up artist Jenny, whom she used to work with.

It sounds like the reporter listened to a podcast, and this isn't the podcast guests first hand account - it's a recollection from a makeup artist they used to know.

This is like 4 degrees away from the reader of the article. The reporter is going out of their way to distance themselves from accountability to verify the sourcing here.

I read it, I read it like three times because I couldn't believe someone would have the gal to publish something so incredibly flimsy

It's because you'll read it that they'll keep on publishing it..

Kinda what that hate-media is about.. it serves no purpose other than capitalizing on attention

I agree with your first statement, but honestly in this day and age little surprises or shocks me anymore.
