I honestly have no idea whether you are right or whether that county supervisor has merit to what they said. That is why we need journalists to actually be people who want to seek truth and inform their audience of that truth rather than just being a public stenographer. A good journalist should have skepticism towards what they are told by public figures and needs to consider whether what they are told is accurate before repeating it without any qualification. But then again, there doesn't even appear to be a byline on this article, so who knows who actually wrote it. If no one is willing to stand behind these words, maybe it wasn't even a human who wrote them. Maybe that quote from some unnamed person is a complete hallucination of some AI. I guess it's up to the reader to do their own research, which makes you wonder what role the journalist is even serving in this instance.
