| To provide a bit of context, this article is about Timothy Burke.
| His most famous work is the compilation video of news anchors on
| Sinclair-owned local news stations reading the same script about
| how media bias is "extremely dangerous to our democracy."[1] He
| is also known for breaking the infamous Manti Te'o fake
| girlfriend story.[2] Additionally, he is noted for having a
| complicated computing setup to monitor, archive, and disseminate
| videos from dozens of live sources simultaneously. Some of these
| details appeared in a profile by the New York Times [3] and also
| appear in this article.
|
| Burke often shares short clips of offbeat moments from sports and
| news channels. The article states that he has recently shared
| behind-the-scenes clips of Tucker Carlson on his former Fox show;
| it appears likely that this raid was related to determining the
| origin of those clips.
