inShoutout to the local reporter who dug into that factory closure story
My buddy's town had a big deal about a new apartment building being "affordable housing." The first articles just repeated the developer's press release. A reporter at their weekly paper kept digging and found the "affordable" units were only a handful, and the rents were way above what most people there could pay. It was mostly luxury condos. The whole project got approved based on that lie. Changed how he looks at any "good news" story from the city council now.

inWasted a whole weekend on a 'simple' tile backsplash
Honestly, a good blade matters more than the saw itself in my book. I've had way better luck just buying a quality blade for whatever cheap saw I'm using.

inMy local paper's 'crime wave' story missed the real numbers from the police report
Yeah, that tracks. I once got a local news alert about "suspicious activity" and it was just a guy standing by a bus stop for a long time. He was waiting for the bus. My own personal crime wave is when my neighbor's cat knocks over my trash cans. I guess I should call the paper.
