Throughout the downpour I kept waiting -- when are they going to put the related news up? -- only to check this morning and find, okay at least they posted something... but then --

"Oh no!!! This is the kind of downpour where a Simpson-slipper might just get lost!!" -- and I somehow slammed the accelerator by myself. Who on earth is the Daum PO? Isn't Daum one of the big Naver-Kakao-Line-Coupang-Baemin?

Even just seeing that a breaking-news banner was up, I clicked in a hurry, and -- sharing this absurdity, because I'm genuinely wondering if I'm the only one seeing this mess.

Breaking news from four outlets (copy-paste articles, some with no actual content) are rolling frantically.
Sigh. If you're going to go this far, at least put in some effort.


Breaking: 826,000 new jobs added in July... growth slows for second straight month.

1 Chosun Ilbo


2 Yonhap News


3 SBS


4 MBN



Titles copy-pasted. No content to speak of.
And yet articles from four different outlets are rolling under the downpour banner.
