Imagine being a writer at Axios with that editor above you, knowing how quickly she and the rest of the "higher ups" caved to this craven PR hack. Can you ever have trust in her again? No, you can't. Great expose of this Jeff

Well done, Jeff. You've covered so much ground here. I really don't know how you have time to write (excellent) books. Among many other things, an exceedingly disappointing response by Axios.

Great reporting, Jeff! Sadly I had high hopes for Axios. It seems nuance,intelligence, humor, and satire have left the building.

Alex Lanfranconi's wife name is not hard to find thanks to the internet. What's most galling about the non-responses is you know he WANTS to respond. He wants to be all righteous but the way director's of communications or press secretaries for some get ahead is by not responding but only talking to their base. Sad
