I can sense that FurryNewsNetwork is trying to revive itself. If judging by the opinions shared by some, I think it should really tailor itself towards positive only news and they may gain some traction.

It'll be like a Fox News, for foxes.

That being said, furrys are certainly not alone in showing ire for press that highlights a corrupt individual within the group. The government does it all the time.

I can see alot of parallels with governmental issues that highlight corruption or need for reform:
You can bet your bottom dollar that when people were covering things like "Abu Grad" or "Gitmo" they were considered anti-American and trying to make America look bad and "emboldening the enemy."

Likewise, alot of furries see all external media as our enemy, so when they do post this story they certainly play into that narrative. However, is that our fault? Or is it the enemies? Why is the enemy not sharing the story of the wonderful things that happen in the group to their followers?

More often then not because while American news is both pro and anti-government, the enemies of America will repost the stories that show the corruption, while sweeping under the stories that show the goodness in the citizenry...

Some would argue that American press does the same with that of foriegn nation's (like China's) stories. And certainly certain branches of our press do in fact do just that.

Maybe it's about time THAT non-sense be put to an end. That the press actually report things as they are and not selectively pick stories based on the narrative they want to send. Or because it gets the most views or is the most marketable.
