Serious question and not trying to be a dick but why is a local - or even regional - news anchor dying of OD notable?
Starting to seem that way, yes.
Its getting to where its not even a decent news aggregation resource anymore, with all the extremely sketch media sites being linked with no supporting sauce via dig or additional sources just because it satisfied someones confirmation bias as well.
No because they can be refuted as well.
Was a time when some notables were ‘hotly’ debated - and if/when those contentious ones are added, they got added with a disclaimer
You think so?
I honestly think it will get worse - much harder to discern truth (or what someone honestly believes anyway) from misdirection and disinfo.
At that stage, misingo and subversion will be the ‘only’ weapons they have left
