...what does a "hunch" have to do with anything? Or objective reporting? I haven't accused anyone of not being objective.
Creature, just take the L and accept you're being dense and pedantic. Yes, it's news, obviously. Is it surprising news? Not that much if you have a brain, but not everyone is that savvy to be capable of correlating cause and future consequence. The fact that a laptop manufacturer has already stated they're going to raise prices is news because: 1. It's to tell the stupid people who thought (believed in Trump*) that the increase wouldn't end up being paid by the consumers; and 2. Raises questions about how fast these companies are already planning to fuck the consumers over before the tariffs even hit. Both are perfectly newsworthy.
It's the difference between knowing, and not knowing. You "knew" it would go up exactly 10% (somehow), but you didn't actually know until you had reporting to that effect. But you're all like, "No, don't tell me, I would rather live in a state of eternal suspense."
