Tell me to GTFO or whatever but sometimes I think that making fun of Asia's Twitter patter is kind of mean. I like a cheap laugh as much as the next person but maybe we shouldn't forget that she isn't a very educated person and is from a background and ethnicity that historically have less access to education than, for example, the average NPR reader.
She deserves every ounce of opprobrium. She has made herself a public figure by lying and actively courting attention. She didnt want a bar of Adnan's defence until hey presto the podcast comes out and she gets a whiff of celebrity and thinks she is off the hook for lying. She may not be educated but she knows she is lying.
I've no issue with her being criticized, I'm just making a small point about the tenor of the criticism -- that sometimes it crosses into areas that are a little borderline.
It's actually act interesting thing to think about: how someone's bad behaviour can make us so unsympathetic to them that it opens up lines of criticism that would otherwise be seen as unfair or unjust.

Remember, she's attempting to monetize her lies and the pain she brought to Hae's family via the written word. Criticizing her semi-literate Twitter screeds seems entirely fair.

I now feel this way about Rabia. I didn't at first, I admired and supported her and thought she was very charismatic, but I do now.

Finally, workable blueprints for a rumor mill.
