Ah. Well, Russian misinformation was very real, that it happened is well documented with a plethora of evidence. For example Russian misinformation reached over 120 million people on facebook. Is what facebook themselves admit.
120 million people being confronted with fake news out of Russia is news-worthy. Not to mention all the other influence campaigns that were going on. Mr. Mueller made a list.

And also quite well-documented is that these efforts were made to help Donald Trump. Which is not inherently Donald Trump's fault. What was his fault is that he repeatedly lied to the public about that issue. Eg. by claiming it could very well be China or some fat dude in his basement when his intelligence cvlearly evaluated it was Russia, or having a campaign manager deeply endebbed to a Russian and giving him private briefings, and things of those matter. Not to mention letting Roger Stone coordinate with Assange when the Russia-hacked Emails from Hillary are dumped and things of this nature. This are all not "non-evidence claims". There's plenty evidence.

Which is fair enough, you care about it, so vote accordingly. I don't take issue with that in any way. I myself have a very different perspective on that though. I'd say if a divorce is disqualifying we wouldn't have many of the current politicians. And I'd also say a divorce is what can happen in one's life, it happens more and more regularly and to me it's not a serious character flaw if it does. And I'd wager most people will see it in a similar way. Therefore, "Warnock is divorced" is not really national news.
Now that he's also a pastor, that's still really up to his church to decide about that one imho. I don't know the Ebenezer Baptist Church and their rules and preachings regarding things of that nature and I don't need to. To me he is a divorced man no matter his profession. As said, if he were on tape preaching how divorced people should be expelled from society and are going straight to hell or anything of that sorts than that would be a national story possibly.

That being said, it is my perspective, whatever that tells you about me. If you think being a divorced pastor is disqualifying, alright, I won't tell you that you're wrong. Just that your perspective probably is the minority and there's no real "need to know" for the average news consumer, as in "CNN has to report that with the same vigor as they report on Herschel Walker's abortion story". Those who care about these things, like you, will still know. You can vote accordingly. Though I would wonder how you could vote for the alternative with these standards of yours, but that's not my concern either.

OK thanks for the effort. However, I have to say I find this story to be a bit thin to serve as a nationally broadcasted piece. First off, it's Warnock's church and whether he himself is involved in any of this is questionable. And the story is that they evict tenants that are behind. Which might not be the best look for the church, but again it's also not a crime or an unspeakable violation and also something that, as far as this article tells me, is not necessarily directly linked to one particular pastor of said church.
