>>6 Dude the reason why we ask for a news link as it is the only evidence to know if the news story is real which everyone can look up using the internet, there are a exceptions to this rule when there is a world wide news story that everyone will know about and that a news link is not needed,
because you seemingly are talking about a local news story a link is needed, if you can't add one then this is not news and didn't happen.
