It’s like doing a news story about someone who dialed the wrong number.
“It’s unclear what caused the caller’s digitary mishap…”

Another "look-at-the-shiny-object" story for the citizens who don't realize what's going on or don't give a fuck about the downward spiral this country's is headed.

I dropped the LA Times after the owner pushed not only to not endorse a candidate for 2024 for the first time in decades, but also made the decision to make the paper more general and less specific about politics all to appease Trump.  A once proud, Pulitzer Prize winning institution is now a shell of its former self.

This "news" item has the makings of a Monty Python 30-second bit.

There are still many reporters at the Times fighting the good fight, though admittedly stories like this don't help.
