Marginaaliselle huomiolle jääneen sensaationhakuisen "dokumentin" "White Noise" ohjaaja vittuilee Laurenille mm. Ylen annilla varteenotettavana ja ehdottoman luotettavana mediana pidettävän The Atlanticin artikkelissaan.
Kun heti alkupuolella kirjoittaja osoittaa kyvyttömyytensä puolueettomuuteen noin väkevästi, niin muidenkin väitteiden luotettavuus roikkuu ohuella langalla.

Lauren Southern could spew racist propaganda like no other
Farmlands focuses on the alleged persecution of white farmers in South Africa, gasped in faux horror.
Vähemmän yllättävää että Hitler, Putin, Kremlin, Nazi, Mussolini, Breivik yms. yms. mainitaan hyvän vasemmisto journalismin ohjeiden mukaisesti
Keskittyy alkuosassa Gavin McInesiin, ja hänen yrityksiin pokata Lauren. Vaikka hän on naimisissa ja paljon vanhempi.

2020-10-17 Lauren Southern: Just Promise Not To Tell The Atlantic
If I were the type of person Daniel Lombroso makes me out to be in his Atlantic article, I would have one thing to say to him: Thank you. Thank you for platforming me. In fact, if I were the type of person Daniel Lombroso pretends I am in his article, I think there would be very real questions about the ethics of giving more exposure to me...
... Fortunately for Daniel, and unfortunately for his readers I am not that kind of person.
Let me count the number of things Daniel did that he asked me “not to tell The Atlantic.”
Daniel would hate for anyone to know this, but we were good friends. Of course he got nervous about it sometimes, and when I would mention it over drinks and say “Daniel despite your job you know we’re great friends” he would slyly remark “oh Lauren you know I can’t say that, I’m still a journalist!” I’ll give him that, he did always include the cheeky remark after we just spent a night out discussing absolutely nothing to do with his stories, or politics.
Oh yes, the nights out, every time I paid for Daniel's drink, made him breakfasts or dinners I’d hear that constant line “just make sure not to tell The Atlantic Lauren.”
When he came over for dinner with my mum and dad and said they were some of the nicest people he had ever met I got that line again “just don’t tell the Atlantic.”
Tässä vaiheessa lukijalle herää epäilys että olivat enemmän kuin läheisiä. Laurenin mukaan tuosta ei ollut kysymys vaan puhtaasta false-flag operaatiosta.
Which is ironic, because rather than using his position of power to try to get me to sleep with him, Daniel instead used it to try to get me to lie about other people trying to sleep with me. Specifically, he was trying to get me to talk about an incident that I otherwise would have kept private involving the right-wing pundit Gavin Mcinnes. To make a long story short, Gavin got flirty and a little forward with me on multiple occasions. I wasn't interested, or particularly impressed. Gavin took "no" for an answer. End of story.
It became fairly obvious Daniel didn't actually care about my feelings. So despite my repeated protestations that I did not want to attack Gavin, he would sneak a question in to try to make me talk about him during every interview we did. He even had one of the women at The Atlantic call me with him to try to convince me to do a #Metoo story with The Atlantic against McInnes. This went on for two years, and for two years, I refused.
And, like all good abusers, that was when Daniel's seamless imitation of a "nice guy" (TM) vanished in a puff of sleaze. “Lauren, if you don’t give me a quote, then it will appear to the public like you just slept with Gavin that night,” he told me with audible frustration. He knew damn well that I had never done this, but the implication was clear: Give me a quote or I'll make you look like a slut. It was blackmail.
Actually, to understand why I would trust a journalist you have to understand the entire pitch Daniel gave me in early 2017. I was in Washington DC and he took me for lunch to a steakhouse across from the Washington monument and sweet talked me for a good couple of hours...
... He continued pressing, telling me, listen Lauren, the hit pieces about you and other right wingers making you appear as villains have already been done. The Atlantic isn’t interested in doing some cartoonish approach to conservatives...
... Brave words for a man who essentially wrote an article which should’ve been titled “TOP 5 CRAZIEST men Lauren Southern ever dated, Number 3 will SHOCK you.” It was a funny read if anything, but also nonsense, clickbait and essentially bullshit.
And boy did his movie ever bomb. They submitted it to almost every single film festival in the United States and overseas. It was continually rejected... after trying to sell to Netflix and various other websites and channels, they eventually went straight for pay per view. Pay per view that every single person can put their movie on. No one wanted to buy it.
On top of this, Daniel had lost his job 
And this is where Daniel and I’s friendship ended. Once again, he will try to deny that we were ever friends… but how many monsters that you genuinely believe are neo nazis do you spend hours over the evening chatting with about your breakups?
Daniel claims to have an in-depth knowledge of my personal life and cites my having dated a "Croation neo-Nazi." In actuality, he's misremembering a conversation where I told him I had dated a Croatian and then jokingly mentioned that the Croatians had been on the side of the Nazis as a form of self-deprecation about my reputation. But the man I was dating was not a Nazi, even if he was a Croatian. I know they probably all look the same to Daniel, but blaming an entire nationality for the actions of one subset is still wrong. What next, will Daniel accuse me of marrying a communist because my husband is part-Asian?
"Journalisti" vs. Journalisti
Lombroso "We met at a chateau an hour outside Paris, which she’d booked to recharge while her crew was off shooting around Europe. Thanks to the proceeds from her work, Southern could afford this retreat in the French countryside"
Southern: In reality, the only reason I booked that Chateau was because Daniel suggested it as the most affordable option. For context, when I was filming "Borderless," it became prohibitively expensive to find hotels in Paris during our shooting schedule. Daniel told me that the Atlantic team had holed up at a chateau an hour outside Paris at much more affordable rates than Parisian hotels, and offered to arrange for us to stay with them
Daniel emotionally blackmailed a 22-year-old girl at her most vulnerable moments. He threatened her with sexual shaming if she wouldn't cook up a story about his political enemies. He lied about what she'd said, and what she'd done, for professional advancement, and when that advancement failed to materialize, he revealed intimate secrets from a friendship for the sake of a few arid days at the top of the clickbait pyramid. If this is what opposition to fascist, ideological disinformation looks like, then I'm sorry to say the call is coming from inside the house.
