This local stingray story deserves an immaculate reception
Briefly

The biggest surprise for me came when I reviewed early coverage of this story and saw how complicit the media was in propagating [the aquarium owner]'s bogus claims back in February. I was especially shocked when I realized how easy it was to expose that some of what the aquarium was saying was patently false (most egregiously, the shark-ray, and most perniciously, the narrative about parthenogenesis as this ill-understood process that might extend ray gestation by months and months).
