Apparently their excuse is that the date and time is set when they start the draft of the story and not when they post it. Further, they say it is because they were writing another story and then had to switch gears when REAL news comes up and the old story's time sticks.
If any of that were true, at what point does an editor look at the bloody thing!?
They are glorified blog posters at best, and at worse they are just copy and pasting CCP-made stories.
Instead of writing new stories, they attempt to memory hole earlier iterations by editing throughout the day.
This also allows narrative shaping, especially if people aren't archiving each change throughout the day. Their avid readers see one message which sticks with them, and people who see the article in the future aren't even aware that message was sent.
eh it does say "Live Updates" and if you've ever used software like WordPress you can go back and edit a post title and content at any time, there's really no way to tell if this software would update the original publish date with the updated date
Someone with a computer, faster internet than I, could probably use the way back machine and confirm, right? Might try it myself later, if I have time.
They reused this article's page and updated it with the "storm U.S. capitol" story. If you hover the date you can see the page was archived at 15:10 UTC (I'm pretty sure it's UTC at least), which is 10:10 ET. You can also see in the article it says "Trump plans to address the crowd at 11 a.m.", so it's just an earlier version.
You can use wayback on your phone, it doesnt take any computing power to search there... wayback does all the database and searching stuff.
Though I doubt WBM captures things within hours, so may not have archived it until days later
This is not an article. It's a page with live updates that was created at 9:22am. The title most likely read "Trump Rally Planned" but later changed the headline. Poor publishing choice, the Headline should be generic "Live updates of January 6th Events in DC"
I'm with you, but we need to focus on the real conspiracies, not created ones
This is a possible explanation, but whoever designed their website then must be devoid of a brain. More likely, it works like all modern systems, and alters the time to the point of last edit pre-publish. After that, edits get their own time stamp with when they are published.

That sounds like bullshit. How is the time shown not merely the time the finished story was uploaded to the website?
Many mainstream outlets do this now.

Here's a good example from 1/6 "fixed" version: https://amp.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jan/6/xrvision-firm-claims-antifa-infiltrated-protesters/?__twitter_impression=true

Exactly this, they simply updated an existing post.

boom thank you, we can do better than this with a little knowledge of how software works...
Did they rig the wayback machine? Only showing updated version, It isn't showing the same page as screenshot

Unfortunately way back will only works for pages that have been crawled and indexed already. This might take hours or days.

....so they STARTED the draft of this story BEFORE IT HAPPENED?
Either way it makes zero sense.....
