        They are whooshing you because they were being very sarcastic, saying that it did get a lot of coverage.

        I disagree with them; it should have been a daily and should be an ongoing scandal, etc. But I believe that’s why they’re whooshing.

                  Why do you think my first response was “yes that is what he is referring to?” It was blatantly sarcasm. Look where you are and look at what he said. You just reposted his joke. I’m done now, I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time reading sarcasm on the internet. It can be difficult with just text, but you misunderstood and that’s okay.

                    The first message from tidderuuf was serious.

                    The reply was sarcasm.

                    The next person (you) missed the sarcasm or that the message before it was serious. That leads us to here.

                    Edit: also it sounds like you might be confusing me with someone else in this thread
