feels it’s straight out of a terrible novel.

A lot of these journalists seem to be failed or wannabe novelists, tbh. It's why they always go for that "gonzo" style. "On a snowy October night, I was eating a microwaved burrito, when the editor called and ordered me to go meet some actually interesting people"

"As soon as I stepped outside, it started to rain. The droplets gathered on the ground and I had a profound realization. Gravity pulls things down. I wondered: Have the Chinese ever figured this out? No, surely not. The Russians? Not in a million years. But I, a white man living in New York writing for an imperialist publication, am the first to have ever had this realization. I quickly jotted my thought down on a used napkin, ignoring the properties of water that made it wet in the rain, and hurried to the patent office to get my scientific discovery recorded in the annals of capitalism."
