Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:
Q: Why do you take so long to post some news that are already plastered across mainstream news sources? For example, the West Memphis Three, Billie Joe vs. Airlines, and the REM break-up? A: Probably because those large stories are all blasted out to media outlets at the same time. The mainstream media loves that shit and snatches it up without checking details or caring about any information (simply because of the name attached to it). We know they've already posted it in real time, so we're not in a huge rush to post news that's already going to be everywhere else, so it takes another 30 to 40 minutes. Now that isn't to say we haven't been scooped on punk stories, or that we haven't posted incorrect or stories lacking details but if it's something you're likely to read in People, we're not going to bust our ass to post the exact same information as everyone else. But that may just be my lazy take.-Rich
