An insincere apology is not newsworthy

is there an article with better framing that you think I should have posted instead?

because I certainly agree the apology was forced and insincere...but the original comment about executing homeless people was definitely newsworthy, don't you think?

and annoyingly, I didn't see any major news outlets covering his comments, until he was forced to issue the apology.

so it's kind of unclear if you're just complaining for the sake of complaining, or if you have any constructive criticism to offer.

Oh, my comment wasn’t aimed at you, it was for the editor at the Associated Press.
