Consensus on wording of Washington Post article

I updated article with the following and another user keeps reverting it to their wording despite my legwork on the posting of the WaPo reference. I'd like to get a consensus on whether my version or their version should apply. My version:

"On July 5, 2017, The Washington Post reported the #CNNBlackMail hashtag story was "taking hold" as the July 5, 2017 top trending Twitter topic, resonating on both sides of the political aisle, the ethics of Kaczynski not identifying a private citizen who posted "offensive things online" based on the apparent condition that they behave better in the future. [1] Cllgbksr (talk) 16:04, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The issue with this wording is that it is unsupported by the reliable source cited (specifically "resonating on both sides of the political aisle") and that it significantly underincludes other parts of the story, notably the discussion of the "mix of fact and fiction" that has spread on the Internet about the controversy — that there is both genuine outrage and meme-happy trolling involved. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 16:10, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

After reviewing the article recent history I approve of User:Yoshiman6464 edits. We Should let that stand. Goes into a lot of detail. Cllgbksr (talk) 16:13, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the current version (permalink here) is fine — it does not present undue weight issues and appropriately links to the more detailed discussion on the CNN controversies page. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 16:16, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Cllgbksr (talk) 16:16, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

crowley reference needs to be updated

Currently reads: "In January 2017, Kaczynski reported that Monica Crowley had plagiarized large sections of her 2012 book What The (Bleep) Just Happened.[19] The publisher, HarperCollins, announced they would stop selling the book.[19] The Trump Administration tapped Crowley to serve as senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council.[19]"

This reads as if the plagiarism was disclosed, Trump tapped her, and she became director. A quick look at the references on her wikipedia page show that the sequence is Trump tapper her, plagiarism was disclosed, she withdrew. In my opinion the fact that she was nominated is tangential to this article and should be omitted, but if it is included, it must be accurate.
