Default Village Sun uses time machine to get photo

Front page news this morning. There is a very large photo taken in daylight showing Burgess being "congratulated AFTER his successful re-election bid" As he didn't win until after dark somehow the people at the SUN managed to take a photo today and print it hours earlier than it could have been taken. I predict a Pulitzer for the SUN for this outstanding use of a time machine (that is a category isn't it?)

Of course newspapers need to have two versions ready to roll. If they don't they have no time to get the paper ready for distribution. No conspiracy here.

Does the photo caption say that he's being congratulated after his re-election bid?

Of course they used a stock photo. Nothing wrong with that unless the photo caption (not the headline) states otherwise.

Remember Harry Truman holding the newspaper showing his loss to Dewey. A little premature prep by the paper there.

Nothing new here. The have been using the time machine for years to get sports scores in the morning edition.

Or, maybe they work late and keep the paper open for late breaking news.
