What poor reporting

Once again, here's a "news article" that doesn't report the news. It describes a legal conflict between a student who posted comments about an instructor that the instructor finds defamatory. But nowhere in the article are the comments cited, nor even a summary of the comments. How is a reader to decide whether the student is wrong or right in what they posted? Neither is there a description of what constitutes defamation.

If this is what passes for "journalism" these days, I'm glad I don't waste my money on it anymore.
