It's news for the exact reason you commented in this thread, and other people are commenting, and the previous thread about this situation existed. It generates clicks and revenue because people want to talk about it; no matter which side you are on.

Because it gets posted to social media and goes viral.

Although in this case, it appears that the person who originally posted it was being truthful. Server and the manager who tried to help cover it up should probably both be fired.

ETA: Pre-Facebook, probably only a handful of people that Mr. Washington tells the story to personally ever know about what happened.

18 pages thus far on tOT in the second thread and you are asking who cares?

I think you should move on from "who cares" accept that a LOT of people do and work on the more salient issue of "why?".

On the internet, there is really no limit to the number of stories that are "reported" there disn't need to be the king of editorial decisions one had to make with newspapers that were limited on space due to economics and TV news reports that were limited by time.
