Re: The news is only 7 months late
No, it is not seven months late. Reading comprehension is your friend. The second sentence of the Charleston Gazette article:
It is NOT the same story...it is a story about the same thing, but it IS timely...
Next?
Next month, it will be sold in a Dallas auction, where it is expected to fetch at least $100,000.
It is NOT the same story...it is a story about the same thing, but it IS timely...
Next?

Next this:
That headline suggests that the painting has just been found, when the fact is that the STORY has just been found.
Timely is reporting the news as it happens.... not seven months later. (auction or no auction)
Why didn't they report the FIND, WHEN it happened... like others out of state did?
