I think that nyherald site is not legit; can't find anything corroborating the story, no other references to the author, they spell "Science" as "Sciens", the WHOIS says it was registered 2 days ago.
to be fair all i did was yank it from voat. now that the comments load for this posting over there i can see half or more share your thoughts of this being a fake and often reposed story.
And here i thought something good happened for once. They even used a long defunct newspaper name:
The New York Herald was a large-distribution newspaper based in New York City that existed between May 6, 1835, and 1924 when it merged with the New-York Tribune.
Just think, back not 10 years ago no one would have ever questioned if a newspaper story was accurate, yet today it is easy to dig into each story and poke around for holes.
just wait until the vote count rigging gets blown wide open. We have not had accurate voting totals since chicago set the standard of counting the cemeteries with their voting base.
