Definitely agree, I actually called out another article for literally the same behavior. I just don’t think it’s really necessary here as no extraordinary or contested claims are being made.

MEE has been pretty solid this week. TBH I’ve never heard of them before this week but I have yet to see them make a claim that other major media outlets didn’t eventually confirm.

Pretty sure that media bias site rates them as mostly trustworthy with the issue being that we don’t know who they are funded by but 0 reports of false stories.
