    Someone on Twitter joked about JD Vance talking about using a glove and couch to get his rocks off in Hillbilly Elegey on page xxx. This exploded, leading to AP news to release a factcheck titled something like “No, JD Vance didn’t have sex with a couch”, stating there is no reference to that on the quoted page.

    Then, AP removed the article, saying it didn’t meet their standards, leading to the joke to explode again. The explanation for the removal is that AP definitely said he didn’t fuck a couch in the title, but that’s impossible to prove, only that he didn’t talk about it on page xxx of his book.
