I read the article like the 90% of readers read it.

“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”


The article contains the information only a few paragraphs in. It leads with the information that is actually news and is what the headline is about. You might wish every article starts with a genuflection to any and all relevant Kremlin talking points, but I think a few paragraphs in is certainly not burying it let alone not mentioning it, and you don't have a serious leg to stand on here.


"Clearly stated while introducing the person in the article I'm commenting on"

Vs

"...on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

These aren't very close. Big fan of hitchhikers guide though.


>"Clearly stated while introducing the person in the article I'm commenting on"

Not true.
