NYT says ESPN feared he was going to find out from some other source, so told him immediately (but I guess they were paying him, and had wanted to get their money's worth). He "did not finish the program."

Fake reports of animal sightings; The medical experts forget their poker faces; A plague doctor makes an appearance

NatGeo:
The swans in the viral posts regularly appear in the canals of Burano, a small island in the greater Venice metropolitan area, where the photos were taken. The “Venetian” dolphins were filmed at a port in Sardinia, in the Mediterranean Sea, hundreds of miles away. No one has figured out where the drunken elephant photos came from, but a Chinese news report debunked the viral posts: While elephants did recently come through a village in Yunnan Province, China, their presence isn’t out of the norm, they aren’t the elephants in the viral photos, and they didn’t get drunk and pass out in a tea field.

"infected health official leading South Korea’s fight against Covid-19 is member of Shincheonji Church of Jesus doomsday cult"

SCMP:
The official, who was in charge of the district’s fight against the virus, identified himself as belonging to the cult after he tested positive for the virus, said Daegu City Mayor Kwon Young-jin.

...

Since coming to widespread public attention after hundreds of its followers tested positive for the coronavirus, apparently infected by a 61-year-old woman ‘super-spreader’, the cult has attracted controversy
WaPo yesterday:
In his internal message, published by South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, church leader Lee called the mass infection “the devil’s deed to curb the rapid growth of Shincheonji.”

“Just like Job had his faith tested,” he said, “it is to destroy our growth.”

"The Green New Deal Fan on Fox News Wasn’t a Random Diner. He’s a Climate Activist"

TNR:
At about 8 or 9 p.m. the night before, one of the members of Sunrise KC [the Kansas City chapter of Sunrise — Editor] got a Facebook message from a friend who had just run into a Fox producer at a restaurant, and the Fox producer said that Fox and Friends were going to be at this diner in the morning. They wouldn’t say what it was about; just that something’s happening.

So a call went out on Facebook, and me and one other person from Sunrise KC showed up there at about 6 a.m. And we were lucky enough he happened to put us on air.
