You might have some reports to fill out or whatever and post about it after getting home after the end of your shift or whatever. I mean it’s probably not the person’s first thought to post about it to 4chan so there being some lag time would make sense.
But it could also just be an intern at ABC who monitors social media channels (including 4chan) for leads heard about it and posted before it was confirmed. Serious journalists will put in some legwork to confirm a story before reporting it, but there’s no requirement to do that if you’re just posting shit to 4chan.
