It was not clear that a symbol of sedition used by insurrectionists trying to overthrow the government was "rooted in politics" says the paper owned by Jeff Bezos.

I love that you can say anything to a journalist, no matter how obviously stupid or untrue, and they have to believe it. Alito holding a knife and a severed head: my wife did it! Journalist: Ah, I see. No story here. Have a good day, your highness.

Of course the media would never even think of reporting about any such incidents with any people in the Biden family. Say a diary, an old laptop or something else they weren't even sure nobody had tampered with.

Excuse ME southpaw, but perhaps Mrs. Alito flew the flag upside down in January 2021 because nothing political was going on then and her house had turned into a vessel at sea which was in distress and she was signaling for other ships to come to her aid.

If only there was some sort of profession that trained its members to investigate potentially important things that "weren't clear." Perhaps they could ask follow-up questions, maybe to more than just one person, and then relay the results back to a public audience. Shame that doesn't exist...
