Discussion Claire’s Article While Having “Chemo Brain”

I grew up with the original Degrassi TNG. I finally made the decision a month or so ago to rewatch it and continue to the end. As the title mentions, I watched the article where Claire was going to write the article about Zoe. She ended up fabricating stuff because Zoe lied. Would that not have been a decent article in itself? The woman had mentioned “loved by many, liked by none”. Talking about Zoe fabricating all these events would have really supported that statement. Was this ever addressed in the show and I missed it? I thought it would have been a really interesting article and I was surprised Claire (or Alli) didn’t see that.
