misleading headline, and it’s not even close.

“residents beg mayor”

no they didn’t. the article doesn’t cite one singular instance of a resident asking the mayor to stop the eclipse. what it does cite is an off hand, likely facetious/joke comment by said mayor in relation to a bridge that is under construction.

of course, this fact didn’t stop the author from running with this absolute lie, the media entity from publishing the deception, and most of the comments here are falling for the perversion of truth and are clowning on and smearing an entire township.

pardon me if this comment is overly serious. i get this is a satire-of-satire community but holy smokes we need to have better standards for our media. if they can get away with this white lie, imagine what they do every other day when lives are on the line.
