What is with these “Five Fast Facts You Need to Know” and similar articles. Do these writers think they have the corner on information? Are they somehow supposed to be more reliable than their media counterparts? And by whose definition, Need to Know?

I was wondering that too.

Do not take it as gospel. Many times these are just casual blogs anyway.

The Heavy website is well known for ignoring the woke cries to edit the race, religion, and political affiliation of criminals like this.

So, if you want to know what “teens” who attacked a white guy walking into a hotel look like (along with how to spell “Trayvonz”), this is the place.
