This is the second news article reporting on a Reddit comment. I want to call journalism dead, but surely at this point it has now risen and is a walking corpse. No interviews, no fact checking, no questions, nothing. They are just reading social media and reposting comments and calling it news.

I wouldn’t mind paying a news media outlet for access to their content if it meant real reporting. Unfortunately the majority of these news sites could have bots writing articles and you wouldn’t notice the difference.

Yeah, since they decided their job was to be the DNC's propaganda arm instead of reporting the facts, it's not worth paying for their garbage.

Daily Mail does this all the time.

This is the second time the story has been shared here, after the original reddit post was too. I don't mind reposts to a degree, after they haven't been seen in a few months or so, but this is just laziness now.
Both news articles have incorrectly reported the amount of money involced too. 150USD is 113gbp (not 100) or 211AUD (not 180), if fatties who pretend to be journalists want to complain, can they at least do it correctly.
