It turns out that the North Shore Leader, a local Long Island newspaper, did raise questions about Rep.-elect George Santos (R-NY) before the election, the Washington Post reports:
“It was the stuff national headlines are supposed to be built on: A hyperlocal outlet like the Leader does the leg work, regional papers verify and amplify the story, and before long an emerging political scandal is being broadcast coast-to-coast. But that system, which has atrophied for decades amid the destruction of news economies, appears to have failed completely this time.”
