19. "Did the news stop for a holiday break? "

Yes but the "news stopped" because they had a whole different agenda that involved literally clearing their news sites of actual "news" and go full-on Biden smear campaign, full of opinion pieces, innuendo, and pure unadulterated gossip.

In other words, Yellow journalism at its best.

There are a couple sites that have a good description but here is an easy Wikipedia one - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism

The term "yellow journalism" originated from the innovative popular "Yellow Kid" comic strip that was published first in the World and later in the Journal.

This type of reporting was characterized by exaggerated headlines, unverified claims, partisan agendas, and a focus on topics like crime, scandal, sports, and violence.


As a child growing up, my mother often used the term.

As I continue to comb through the news sites, some are reluctantly adding some links to articles they previously blocked, but a number ended up past LBN's 12 hr time frame and were never available or linked to on those news sites until a day or more later.
