We knew our pals in the media would be working SUPER hard to somehow find a way to make the Staffer Sex SNAFU (yes, we capitalized that because we intend to somehow make that name stick for this entire incident), but man oh man, they really have been going above and beyond.
Take for example what NBC News wrote ... we especially like how they threw in the word alleged, like there wasn't an actual video ... that they admit was leaked in the same headline.
Aces, guys.
Sen. Ben Cardin’s office has parted ways with a staffer who conservative news outlets alleged was shown in a leaked video having sex in a Senate hearing room. https://t.co/TQqhzlri5g

"alleged"
"shown"

Yes, the story is the pouncing.

Ahem.
As we were saying, this headline is SO bad that Community Notes hit them MULTIPLE times which we think is fairly safe to call a nuke.
View the notes HERE. Our favorite is ...
The video wasn't leaked. It was posted by the staffer on social media.The staffer did not deny that it was his picture or video, so use of the term "alleged" is entirely inappropriate. Characterizing the news outlet as conseervative is totally gratuitous. Linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:7141615313334276096/
So it was the conservative outlets fault that that guy filmed gay sex in a Senate hearing room? NBC News is run by clowns.— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) December 16, 2023
Yup.
And yet, nope.
Hey, nice try though, NBC.
"Did you hear about that Congressional staffer who was fired for allegedly being gay?"
