  Thank you for pointing this out. It was the first thought that came to my mind.

  I have no idea when the last real election was. But it certainly hasn’t been in the last decade or two. Social media is too strong of a platform for propaganda. I think there are exceedingly few people now with an accurate understanding of modern political parties, affiliations, etc.

  Plus, there’s waaaay too much money in politics. Votes are bought

  This is an especially tragic case. IMO, Gitea has one of the best names in software.

  Thanks for the links. I read the article on my phone using reader mode. Apparently it was hiding some of the embedded links. Which is annoying because I really like reader mode 🙂

  I just skimmed through the article about misuse of tax funds. It’s a big improvement on providing detailed information. Some of it sure seems shady without digging. Music videos promoting herself that are funded by taxes? Yikes!

  But I’m still a bit annoyed or something that they don’t explain what the Las Vegas trip was for. Honestly, a few thousand dollars for a business trip could be pretty normal IMO. It really depends on the details. Was she gambling, drinking, etc with tax money? Or did she fly in, spend a few nights, and work the whole time?

  Anyways, thanks again for giving me a little more context

  Wow. This was the first Fox article I’ve read in several years. It’s fascinating, but in a really abrasive way somehow. It just feels frustrated.

  The article has almost no information at all. It shares the perspectives of a few upset residents, which are great to include, but almost no direct statements about what the mayor actually did. Why did the mayor fly to LA? What about that trip makes it theft? I certainly want to question the trip… but the article just doesn’t give that info. Similarly, how did the mayor steal from the cancer fund? It sure sounds bad, but we’re only given that statement from the perspective of one upset resident who has cancer. The perspective sure if valid but I can’t make my own evaluation based on the info given. It just feels like I’m not meant to think about what I’m reading. It’s very strange.

  Is this normal for articles written by Fox?
