It was a narrative that would not die, kept alive by a social media frenzy and a lot of folks too eager to believe it.
In an op-ed published by The Washington Post on Friday, Hugh Culverhouse Jr., again framed his ongoing feud with the University of Alabama as a political dispute over the state’s near-total abortion ban...
It’s a good story.
Heck, I shared Culverhouse’s initial comments on Twitter when he first made them. And after the Post published his op-ed Friday, that story traveled even farther and faster, as it was shared and retweeted by a lot of people willing to believe the worst about Alabama and its namesake university.
We all should have given it a second look.
