Neither do all your self-deleted comments after being called out for your BS. It's local news and like most local news isn't covered elsewhere. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] snowe@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) They’re looking for someone to confirm their biases, not actually looking for the truth.

I'll shut up and be horribly ashamed if you find me another source for this story. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MrZee@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago Dude. Your behavior here is really weird. People are responding to your unhinged flailing and trying to explain why the one source we currently have appears to be reputable. They are giving you reasons to believe that this source is very likely to be telling the truth while you wait for confirmation from other sources. You appear to have gone from a possibility you’ve identified (the possibility that this article is all made up) and inflated the probability of that being true to crazytown levels. You seem to see conspiracy in the lack of a second source. There is a much more mundane explanation for the lack of that source you desperately need: this story just broke today (Friday). It takes a reputable source more than an hour or two to do their own research and verification and write their own article. Give it time. Yes, verifying news through multiple sources is a good thing. Yes, when there is more published about this, we will be better equipped to judge the accuracy of this article. But you seem to think journalism happens automatically and instantly. permalink fedilink source parent
