ACKSUALLY, I did accept it, just as soon as someone posted a screenshot of the alert in question. Which I promptly posted in several other comments.

Given the abhorrent state of modern journalism, and the lack of a simple screenshot that would have conclusively demonstrated the problem, "skepticism" was justified.

    ACKSUALLY you didn't. The news writers saw it and told you, I saw it and told you, other people saw it and told you, everyone saw it and told you. You would not accept it. You jumped through every hoop you could and blamed everyone else to not accept it. Ciao.

    A bunch of people, you included, told me they read the article, and then cited that article as their source. I asked for a screenshot of the alert, and explained how to get it. Eventually, someone provided the screenshot I requested, and demonstrated that this particular alert differs from every other alert I have ever seen:

    Jesus wouldn't accept it from the entire conversation we had, someone else even chiming in. Next time look it up yourself if you don't believe anything instead of shoving refusal in everyone's face until someone finally had enough. Why do I bother.
