scooping optimus crime, continued

Yesterday, our "pals" over at Optimus Crime finally decided to tell everyone about the upcoming Wooden Stars tour. The only problem was that Small Flightless Bird had scooped them on this story by a stunning five days. After I called them on it, a bitter hot-journalistic-leads war was started, with you the reader caught in the non-metaphorical crossfire. Well, O.C., watch in horror at the new low to which S.M.B. is willing to stoop in this deadly battle: fake news!
