What did they say?"},{"host":"Eric","text":"Fifteen points. But ESPN's clip shows the buzzer-beater capped a seventeen-point quarter. Small thing, but it's the NBA's official feed."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"So the league can't count its own star's points. That's... actually very on brand for this season."},{"host":"Eric","text":"The Cavs are up, Mitchell's cooking, and the social team is rounding down. What a time."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Seventeen in a quarter is a statement. He's been aggressive since the tip."},{"host":"Eric","text":"Let's move on. The State Department is suddenly very interested in Venezuela's political reconciliation."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"A Telegram channel called Market News Feed posted a string of statements.

But the substance— the U.S. pressing for political prisoners— that's been consistent for years."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"It has. The question is whether this specific statement is real or just a rehash dressed up as news."},{"host":"Eric","text":"And that's the problem with these market feed channels. They blur the line between actual reporting and recycled talking points."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Which is why we say it's unverified.
