"delete this paragraph and stick to the facts"

If you're someone who follows publishing deals, you may have heard about the book deal that controversial speaker Milo Yiannopoulos made with Simon & Schuster. And then you may have heard that S&S backed out. Now Yiannopoulos is suing, which made S&S release their editor's notes on his first draft as part of the court records. Buzzfeed's reporter dug through it all and picked out some of the most scathing comments, and wrote it all up in her article, which you can read right here

And if you want more, at the end of the article is a way for you to read the entirety of the memoir, to see if you think the S&S editor was right or not (personally, I've worked with editors, so I know how smart they are).
