True, they are not mutually exclusive.
I see I have downvotes only, no one bothered to ask why except you.
So thanks and I'll gladly explain.
For one the post title is wrong.
"Reduced to one job" implies they only do this exclusively.
While the original article says: "priority one is redacting the sex trafficker’s case files." and "taking precedence over all others"
That is not the same.

Second thing, and this goes for any article, people should be more sceptical.
Plenty of times you see one or some of the following words used:

*an unnamed/anonymous source says...
it is believed that...
aledgedly... *

That is simply bad reporting, based on nothing and speculation.
In a lot of cases these types of articles turn out to be untrue later.
Very few outlets are neutral on political matters.
Especially so in the heavily polarised US.
Both sides spice things up, make allegations or even blatantly lie to put the opposition in a bad light.
Everyone should be aware of this.

I don't know TNR but when I click on their breaking news and scroll, literally every article I see is about Trump.
That fixation should give a clue.

And I'm not saying this to defend trump.
The guy does awful things on a daily bases.
So there's plenty they can report on whitout having to resort to these type of cheap tricks.
Factually and with verifiable sources.
While the MSM is generally bad at this I at least expect better from Lemmy.
And its users to be more critical and aware.
