This amounts to an anecdote. This is the live national television equivalent of a tweet, and then someone wrote an article about the “tweet” this bumpkin made. There is no actual reporting done, no fact-checking (in before someone objects, “But wait! there were no facts to check!”), no following up with other sources. I doubt very much the “source” would agree with her characterization here. This is a nothingburger, and I have to agree with that guy getting spamdownvoted that this source is dogshit, while merrily disagreeing that MBFC is worth even half a turd.
it’s an interview with one of the people that traveled there based on the “news” they consumed. It’s not just ‘an anecdote’, it’s a first person source from someone at the location who is part of this group that went there.
This isn’t just a ‘my uncle once saw xyz’, you are mischaracterizing the context.
Also, in regards to MBFC,
Overall, we rate MeidasTouch Left Biased based on the negative portrayal of Donald Trump and Republicans and the promotion of Democratic candidates. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to a lack of transparency with funding
dOgShIt!!!
this isn’t a great “article” in general to post, but you’re being extreme

Oh my bad, I see where I went wrong. I thought an anecdote was “not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research.” Now that you’ve provided me with the correct definition about your uncle, it’s clear I was mischaracterizing this unreliable personal account unsubstantiated by facts or research as anecdotal. How silly of me to have made such a stupid, obvious mistake, and how arrogant of me to attempt to correct someone else without checking myself first. what was i thinking
