Halfway through the article. Just wanted to say it seems great so far. It's the kind of thing you would think would have been done several times by now, yet this is the first such article I've read. Also, kudos to the author for listening to what must have been hours of drivel a day without going crazy.
I'd say this is more politics than news, no?
- It's called investigative journalism.
  
  I know, it feels rare to see it in the wild.
  
  Is investigative journalism considered "news"? I guess it is reporting on facts. I'm not saying I don't want to see it, and I'm not saying any "rule" has been broken or anything. I just like seeing things categorized correctly 🤷
