That’s fair - if CNN is covering a rando restaurant, things have gotten out of hand. Probably best just to block reviews for that restaurant, no? Because that’s what the feature is. Regardless, CNN doesn’t often cover these stories. Local news does. And local news doesn’t suck. Btw, please forgive the snark, but a complete lack of faith in local journalism (I.e. a conflation of CNN and the Altoona Mirror) is a big reason cable news has a lot of power. TLDR - support local journalists!

"And local news doesn’t suck." Almost every single "business accused of racism" story in the media story turns out to be a hoax. (for obvious reasons, being a victim is now the way to societal approval) Local news covers these accusations, so it doesn't matter whether they're accurate about the fact that there is no actual evidence for a claim, that will still allow Yelp to label the business as "accused of racism".
