Jim kept the NE thing off here until Ted had to go run his mouth (again) and make it national news instead of staying in the checkout lane.
what you just said has absolutely nothing to do with hte fact that the NE story ran nonstop here on FR for weeks- People are still bringing it up- and it wasn’t ted addressing the issue that caused it to be news here- there were threads run before Ted said anything on the issue- They were not pulled-
You are right, the NE issue was well monitored until Ted came out and blamed Trump for it.
Ted could have said it was BS and moved on, but he didn’t, he instead went out of his way to falsely accuse Trump of creating the story. That is how it got legs
