Mallory Simon works for "the most trusted name in news." But she's working hard to make CNN also the most trusted name in news feeds. Simon gives CNN.com readers every detail of when and how Eliot Spitzer's call girl, Ashley Alexandra Dupré, changed her MySpace and Facebook profiles last week. But at 1,000-plus words, Simon overstays her welcome. Instead of paying writers by the word, why don't we pay them to leave? The 100-word version, below.

  • Tuesday night — Dupré began deleting connections between friends on Facebook.
  • Wednesday morning — Timestamps and activity on her Facebook profile shows she was staying up all night cleaning up her profile and responding to critics.
  • Late Wednesday night — At 3 a.m., there was an entry that she had completed a "thorough profile scrub," leaving only a couple of photos of herself on Facebook and a clip of one of her songs on MySpace. Friends posted on her MySpace page telling her to ignore the media, they would be there for her and to stay strong.
  • Early Thursday morning — High school classmates created a group on Facebook. At 5 a.m., she confronted the classmates: "Do me a favor and don't try to cash out ... thanks," she wrote on Facebook.
  • Later Thursday morning — Dupré Facebook status: "Sneaking out the back door," she wrote. The page had received more than 1,100 friend requests on Facebook. Later, she accepts many of them.
  • By 2:30 p.m. the Facebook and MySpace profiles were gone.
  • They reappeared Friday.
