bad politics has a habit of showing up in weird places, if anything that makes things more credible for me.

the sexual abuse of the catholic church was first exposed in a local paper for Lafayette Louisianna.

the My Lai massacre was first uncovered by a small alternative group called Dispatch News Service.

the CIA cocaine stuff of the 90s was first discussed in a local San Jose paper.

Larry Nassar was outted as a predator by a local Indianapolis paper , a local DC paper uncovered the Tuskegee Experiments, the Seattle Times uncovered the 737 MAX safety certification skips..

I dunno, I don't think i'd be that surprised to first read about the upcoming impending meteor in the latest issue of Teen Vogue.
