First and foremost I wish to give a big and warm thank you to @Coach Kreeton Of All That whom kindly gave, time, energy and effort into reviewing this, and offered helpful advice along the way. Without his help it would have looked far uglier and been a far less clever in the language portion. It was wonderful to co-op with you.
Meet Sharon Grigsby. The one and only, hit-piece “journalist” from the Dallas morning news. Why? An opportunist, she write low-tier grade articles like all current year trenders to generate feels over facts. Well she has shown to be completely biased, incapable of looking up simple facts, check sources, wrongly cited others, and over-all been reluctant or fully un-willing to apply journalistic ethics to all parties involved in any pickle.
Married to: Clay Morton, 04/29/1955, 64 years old.
29th Jan 1983, Dallas County.
His name's attached to a different addres. However a person with the same surname as him resides there. It is not him, and they are probably renting it out to a family member. Therefore that address is not included in this d0x.
GRIGSBY, SHARON F who was 26 (born ABT 1957) married 29 JAN 1983 in DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, U.S.A. a groom named CLAY MORTON who was 27 (born ABT 1956).
Children: Matthew T Morton and Pierce Z Morton.
Press Reader Article
Funny how the article wasn't spell-checked and starts with a typo.
It started with these two tweets and the aforementioned first article: View attachment 978802
Dallas Morning News failed to TAG their own journalist properly. Some other poor woman from Florida ended up spammed, had locked and privated her account. With Dallas Morning News issuing a halfhearted apology that doesn't even come off with the slightest sincerity.
Nick's tweets are missing from the line of answers down below. Although he was mentioned and quoted in the article, he was never contacted nor interviewed regarding what she used from/about him in the article.
For those who do not know how journalists construct stories, it normally goes like this:
Pick a headline that will draw in the audience; think mild clickbaiting. In this case the hit-words are: Anime, MeToo, Clash, Dallas.
Anime to appeal to that part of the audience. MeToo to draw in SJWs and feminists. Clash to make it sound dramatic and it certainly is. Dallas of course, to draw in the locals.
After a headline is made, a small paragraph in bold letters gets printed with a few sentences. This captures the essence of the story wanted to be push. It's to captivate audiences and sucker them in to reading.
It's often here readers will find the angle or slant the author is going to spin the story in. Since I already pointed out the keywords above, and many probably read the article, I'm assuming you know how it goes from this point.
The information you WANT your audience to read is often placed in the beginning of the article. It should be what is most pertinent to the article, but in this day and age, with clear bias, it has become whatever the publication and author wants you to read. Since almost everyone knows that no one bothers to read the whole thing, or seldomly do. Then some more useful information is put at the end of online articles since people will often scroll down for the conclusion or summary. Everything that is something they don't want to draw your attention to is in the middle and towards the end.
Of this is completely factually wrong. Vic holds no power in position or status. That glory belongs to Chris Sabat. She also goes straight for some numbers to show that surely he has had some success. Foregoing entirely that voice-actors aren't well-paid by the companies that hire them, and then proceeds to go for the inappropriate behaviour and "unwanted sexual advances." Which, also has been debunked time and time again had she bothered to look or talk to someone who wasn't Team MoRonica.
Afterwards, she follows up these in-directly: he is a sexual assaulter, statements with his fans harassing the victims and doxing them. Sharon if you're reading this, all their information is out in the public. Some even plastered it out over their twitter and Facebook for the world to see. All we do is hoard it. Either way, to continue on that note, she makes no mention of how Mignogna has not partaken in any of that twitter-mudslinging, never engaged either defendant either online. In fact, he has been entirely silent about the matter aside his denial, and attempt at an apology. An apology he didn't know what he apologized for (see his deposition for further info on that). This makes it seem like Vic somehow took part, encouraged or instrumented these things, which he has not done.
So once she has sufficiently smeared his name and fanbase, we scroll our way down.
Everything looks kinda bland, disineteresting. Until she suddenly breaks up the article with a large headline once more and uses the same picture as above.
Again, with the title and quick following sentence you see her intent with the article. She makes no mention that the affidavits were debunked, disproved, that one of the people handing in an affidavit has been punished by the law for falsely reporting a crime before. Another, Jennifer Lynn Hunt, has made 18574 versions of her story and none of them hold water. Others are extremely tame, and pretty much goes to extent of ' he felt creepy'. Which is not a crime. She also makes no mention of the otherwise false claims and stories that already have been disproven.
The entire article ends with a terrible photo of our West-Nile boi Lemoine, who looks 20 older than he is in that photo. He too with that dramatic lighting. Suppose they were sticking to a theme. They point out he is part of the team of lawyers representing Marchi and Rial. Which is sort of wrong, and sort of right since they can't have the same team of lawyers.
Further down it uses such hit-phrases as: war against two women "With everything I’ve been through — the death threats, the hatred, the trying to ruin my career, trying to get me fired because I came out and told the truth,” Rial said. “That is worth it if it saves one woman, one girl from having to deal with this kind of situation again.”
Then sort of happy but strong women ending with sisterhood: Both women also said they were thankful to be in this together. “We know this is going to be awful and who knows how long it’s going to be this awful,” Rial said. “But as long as we’ve got each other, and we’re standing together strong, let’s get the truth out there.”
Not being the sort to stop at the lack of balanced article, they put it on the front page of their printed newspaper. Whose face did they put on the front page do you ask? Why Vic's of course....Nothing like good ol' due process and innocent until proven guilty eyh!
To make things even more interesting, she was followed by quite a few interesting folks. Such as, but not limited to: View attachment 978830
sourced from @Yuusha-sama
So in short, they/she, had quite a few days to put this together. Yet all sources are clearly from the side of the defense. No attempts to explore any other sources from the other side were made, may it be looking for debunked stories, or even just checking basic facts against the claims. There was a blurb somewhere she claimed to have tried to get in touch with Ty Beard, but what would he possibly talk to her about without aboslutely ruining client/attorney priviliege and letting her spin it into something odd? Probably nothing. It is almost like she is incapapable of looking up sources on her own and it was a paid piece.
In the end I suppose that stuff doesn't sell as much as just smashing up a sex-scandal story, like she did with the Baylor sexual assault story scandal. Of course, this takes us to......
How is this relevant you may ask? Well, it was about a sexual assault scandal. You may have heard of it: The Baylor Sexual assault scandal
Her nomination a little odd as her articles almost always cite back to other in-house authors from The Dallas Morning News. A lot, and I mean a lot, appear to be he-said, she-said. Occasionally you’ll stumble over some reliable sources such as the plaintiffs papers, but it is still only one-side of the story. In other words, there is a lack of validity and equal representation of both sides of the case. I will add in I have not delved deeply into this case and therefore do not know the facts as well so I will not make commentary or jdugement on right or wrong. I am merely curious about their prior approach and how it may be utilized in the future for Vic's case.
In: Baylor's Obstinacy in Full View There is one source linked, which is surprisingly external, the Texas Tribune Archive
In: Baylor Sex Assault Scandal 7 of 9 links leads to in house articles on the subject, the 2 others belong to the Waco Tribune, and 1 of those 2 are gone/taken down. One can only speculate as to why.
What she wasn't nominated for however was her writing on Sam Ukwauchu.
In 2019, Sam Ukwuachu, a young African-American football player who had been accused of sexual assault, had his sentence overturned and he was cleared of all charges. I am no expert on this story, and I am not sure what parts ring true or not. I am merely reporting on what I am seeing. But what was said in the article is as follows:
July 10, 2019: After finding prosecutors used false testimony and violated his due-process rights, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals reverses the 2015 sexual assault conviction of Sam Ukwuachu and grants him a new trial.
If they went to such an extent to convict someone, one have to question the validity of the remainder of the claims and convictions as well, since the young man was then, well, a little railroaded.
Sharon’s article was linked on Facebook has a dead link. It can be found through Google Cache.
It's also worth noting that it had been put underneath the section called ‘opinion’. Because that is exactly what good journalism shouldn’t be. It was for her work on the sexual assault scandal she was nominated for a Pulitzer. Now I'm wondering if this is her second go at it. Perhaps this is why they went to her (they must have, they had their picture taken at their locales). Lemoine already had ties to the station, and knowing her news-history knew she'd be interested in this sort of thing. It's clear what narrative she pushes, and how biased it is. I pity her if it all backlashes against her. All information here was public.
As for karma: They now have an adblocker and paywall.

Seriously, what made this moronic nutter go from rando Sargonite to defender of all the whamens? Does he really want that conslut and whale pussy that badly?
The hunt of clout. The guy's tried latching on to everything he can in order to build up a YouTube presence and been laughed out of everything. KickVic is the first to give him attention, which is funny because the guy's an open racist and open homophobe, with even Shane Holmberg saying they don't want him...only to do a complete 180 when they think he's actually showing Nick being disingenuous or something. The guy refuses to provide context--something every gay ops engages in--and they eat it up, but at least by embracing him they're showing who the real homophobes, racists, and bigots are.
KickVic, come on over to #ISWV. We aren't going to discriminate, we'll accept you for who you are. We just want you to engage your brain-housing group a little bit rather than act like NPCs.
I know the directive here at KF is to archive everything, but surely this fanfic must demonstrate that there are exceptions to every rule. Some things just need to be gone forever.

His original Twitter account was suspended for hate speech and he posts under John Ginger now. He portrays himself as having been neutral in the piece, but he was actually an early member of Jamie Marchi's "KickVic support" Discord. He's also openly autistic,
Vic posted some pictures of the baby shark he used to take care of. Again, stands out just how much kindness and positivity his tweets radiate compared to other people's tweets.

I've never heard the shark story before, but there's a lot of videos about it from what I've Googled and I don't know what to start with first. Did he say what species it was? It looks like a lemon shark to me.
EDIT: Oh, he says in the video I'm watching it was a (toothless) sand shark.
Yes, I think I even heard him talk about it at a recent con, but don't remember which one.
He kept Sherman in a bucket full of water, but it was the wrong kind of water, so Sherman became really weak and was basically close to death. Vic brought him to the ocean and released him, but Sherman was too weak to swim against the waves and was washed ashore again and again. Vic then picked him up and carried him through the waves, let him gnaw on his finger one last time as a goodbye (he had no teeth) and let him go.
Considering her writing is complete dogshit. At least Eric Vale or John Burgmeier tried to keep to the spirit of the source material. In fact listen to the commentary for Fruits Basket there would be moments where he would be recording in the booth and writing at the same time.
But it's not the "same basic feeling" you geniuses. I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong, but weren't those lines completely reinterpreted, as to mean something completely different from the original script?
Wouldnt't be the first time a message was re-interpreted to fit some agenda.
Some anime torrent site like Nyaa should hire Marchi to advertise for them since she's making such good advertisements for torrenting anime. Although maybe since she's so toxic she'd make people stop torrenting out of spite and thus increase Funimation sales! Better let Evan Stone hear about this.
1. Yeah, unironically inserting The Patriarchy is so much better. Fuckin' idiot.
