Saw that earlier; wonder what story it was for. Seems like it was just some "man on the street" stuff.

San Francisco Comical or Houston Comical. No difference.

As fake as reality TV.

And just think, this is just one reporter at one newspaper in one market. Being a reporter/journalist is a highly-competitive field, so the pressure to fabricate is likely correspondingly high.

There is a reason that the media, by and large, is very fake news.

Time and time again, the mainstream media has been exposed as "fake news" my entire life (37 years). I believe it is hands down worse than it has ever been so you have to wonder how often stuff like this (or at least in the same ballpark) happens.

Just a deflection from Hearst...the real sleaze comes from editors, and, good god, the headline writers. If the Tine's local media source is run w/an iron fist from Hearst's castle out in Prog-Coast West, and most of their "talent" shows up from Taxachusetts and Cali, then...just die. Get this, they hired a business reporter from Mother Jones magazine (in the world's energy center)! Bye, HearstChron. Your staff never knew it was the joke.
