The rag called metro making news from random stuff again, I see. This is not even news. It's literally "reporting" that something is not happening.

Like this: "Intel not buying AMD for 6B$" Industry insiders report that Intel has decided not to buy their rivals for 6B$. The CEO of AMD has reportedly stated having no interest in selling to Intel. Their spokesperson, when confronted with this breaking news, replied "WTF have you been smoking, Pringles?" We will continue to report on this story as it continues to develop.

They are just covering what a rando on Xitter is saying. Sadly this is the news cycle nowadays:

Unverified / unknown person posts a claim on X > "news" websites write a 6 paragraph article about this single post

And instead of being critical, people just gobble up anything as if it was true.
