Uh, she didn't want to scoop the story she was paid to write for Glamour Magazine, which she admitted to at the end of her fascinating newsconference with your very good friend, Alan Sepinwall. How is that hypocrisy?
To claim that you've become newly open and honest, and then refuse to be open and honest with reporters because you've cut a deal with a magazine — a deal. by the way, that you only admit to after repeated questioning — still strikes me as hypocritical.
One might say her essay is part of being open and honest.
