The tendency of corporations to leave apologies to their public relations departments may have something to do with it. An apology is supposed to express regret for what went wrong, specifically, and detail what measures are being taken to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. The paper seemed particularly exercised about the role of her “social justice nonprofit” in “house flipping.” The problem with that stance, as Gibson McElhaney wrote in her (long-overdue) response in the Oakland Post, is that the actions were found to be entirely legal...
