"Is becoming seen" is a hell of a choice for a headline.

Sounds like doing the macarena around censorship. "Everyone has work and is happy and healthy, just someone (deffo not us) might soon think otherwise."

I guess that's how stuff reads in the US these days? I mostly assumed it was some variation on "there's nothing new or newsworthy about this but we wanted to talk about it anyway, so we're reporting on the perception".

Also "we don't have copy editors anymore". That one may actually have to do with the current US situation.
