Andy Piper@brucelawson wow, reading the article the consequences here are *bad* 🫣
UkeleleEric@andypiper @brucelawson worse than bad, this is the sort of thing that can affect sales in a country for a couple of generations. The most immediate equivalent that I can think of is the Hillsborough disaster in the UK, where, to this day, the Sun newspaper (that lied and spread the police/government line) has very low sales in the Liverpool area, over 30 years on.
