He's getting what he craves, attention.I hate journos like this guy - the problem is that he jumped to early and got it wrong, all he had to do is own it and hold his hands up and everyone would have just allowed him and it would have been forgotten about by now but when you double down on something which is wrong it makes you look even more foolish.
People just need to own their shit.

Best way to deal with cretins like this is ignore them, they'll scream for a bit but that turns to whimpers whilst they fade away.
Insecure nonentity who'd rather be vilified than ignored.
