        They were local nobody’s showing up to do an underpaid job. I have personal connections with people that work this type of media coverage and I’m only glad that they enjoy their career over the things that they used to do that sometimes paid more.

          Right? It’s not like CNN’s sending out Anderson Cooper to cover this bozo’s little “campaign” event. It’s embarrassing how clueless people on social media are about how the media operates. It’d be hilarious except these same people come to every single damn comment section trying to criticize journalistic practices as if they’re experts rather than discussing the actual article.

          It is indeed much easier to object to statements no one made than to address someone’s comment.

          And it isn’t a conspiracy it is simply corpos doing what is best for their interests regardless of the damage caused. (see, that is called addressing what was stated rather than making things up and pretending.)
