https://www.rt.com/news/356697-man-climbs-ecuadorian-embassy-assange/An unknown man climbed the ecuadorian embassy in London at 3am and got close to a window but was able to flee when security confronted him. Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, is currently effectively living in self-imposed exile in the embassy.
That's all the factual information of the article.
The other 90% of the article are tweets by people who baselessly speculate that this unknown man was an assassin and was sent by Hillary Clinton herself.
So let this be a lesson to all you upcoming journalists out there: If you only have enough material for a 2 paragraph-story, throw in a shit-ton of tweets what random people are speculating about that thing.

Catastrophic floods in the US. But it's important to note that Trump, who has no relevance whatsoever in this situation, gets mentioned in the headline.
Obama nowhere to be seen, but Trump touring the damaged area means that he's a leader. https://twitter.com/tgj225/status/766645829528526849/photo/1
Gov. Edwards said that Trump better not come to simply stage a photo-op. RT has so far not reported that Trump did indeed just come for staging a photo-op.

He's still negotiating. A great deal. The best.
