What's tenuous about it?

  Very indirect and circumstantial. “Hey his roommate was trans this must be why!” You can tell that even FoxNews doesn’t believe it since they keep pulling it off the page. Edit, oh they are back at it again: “ Relative reveals why roommate of Kirk's alleged assassin was kicked out of parents’ home”. At least they aren’t mentioning trans anymore but come on, but the comments are still really toxic.

    Oh I see you're just a few news cycles back. Just keep hitting refresh.

      I only sample the FoxNews homepage, they often have a trash top story even when much more important things are going on. It would be interesting to do an actual study by writing some code to scrape and keep track of their top-story (the one that takes the most space on their homepage).

        Strange!
