I know she came from newspapers, but she has no background in television news in general, nor in news reporting (as opposed to opinion writing) specifically. News reporting is a different beast than opinion.

We did both a few weeks ago, and the new Trump rules made it so much harder to get a Covid shot, even with New York State trying to mitigate the problems.

Of course, that is ethically and morally reprehensible. But I do wonder if the issue here is the degree to which the art appears photorealistic. If someone drew an animated cartoon of a celebrity having sex, it would be gross but wouldn't cause a panic. Is the issue that the art is too good?

I collected ancient and medieval accounts of the hunt for Noah's Ark many years ago: www.jasoncolavito.com/the-hunt-for...

I don't think we can count if we are going all the way back to when Berossus reported that the Mesopotamians ran tour groups to Xisuthrus's Ark.

Ron Wyatt originally claimed the Durupinar site was Noah's Ark back in the 1980s. Science says it's natural. Even the creationists at Answers in Genesis say that Andrew Jones is full of it, noting he is fitting scans to predetermined conclusions. answersingenesis.org/blogs/ken-ha...
Has Noah’s Ark Been Found . . . For Real This Time?
Over the years, we’ve addressed several proposed Noah’s ark sites, including the Durupinar site, and always concluded that the ark has not been found.

For instance, Chester Arthur didn't break from Roscoe Conkling as thoroughly as depicted; indeed, as president he nominated Conkling to the Supreme Court and secured his confirmation. (Conkling declined to serve, apparently due to his sexual escapades.)
