DEFAMATION: Thornbrugh’s trial coverage was exceptional

| June 2, 2024 1:00 AM

I am writing to celebrate and commend reporter Kaye Thornbrugh for her exceptional coverage of the Posey v. Bushnell trial. Kaye was the sole journalist present during this landmark case, which concluded with a $1.176 million defamation award to drag performer Eric Posey against Summer Bushnell.

In an era dominated by disinformation and culture wars, the significance of this case cannot be overstated. Kaye’s diligent reporting not only provided our community with accurate and timely information but also highlighted the importance of accountability in public discourse. Her work ensured that the facts were presented clearly and fairly, a service that is increasingly rare and invaluable today.
