A BLP subject does not have the right to expunge any material that other
editors deem has come from a reliable source. If you show your boobs on video
while you were drunk once, guess what? You did it, now face the consequences

I'm talking about the case where something simply incorrect makes it
into a newspaper and never goes away, and the subject can't correct it
because robotic idiots claiming to be editors read in WP:RS that a
newspaper is always a Reliable Source. Never mind that anyone who's
ever actually been in the press will laugh hollowly at the notion.
Suability is not the same as accuracy.
