Every time this story updates my mind automatically always goes to Russia and then am reminded there’s a Moscow Idaho

These small local news sites never realize their stories get picked up nationally.

It’s not that the “never realize” it, it’s that they don’t care for good reason.

NWPB specifically cares about their 3.6million viewers in eastern Washington and Idaho, they have no desire to make sure that someone in Florida knows that this article isn’t written about Russia.

It would make much less sense to clarify which Moscow they meant in every single article they wrote.

Hell. This article even has Idaho in the picture and first written sentence. What more do y’all want? “THIS ISNT RUSSIA” in every headline?

It would make much less sense to deny themselves some unintended clicks an therefore ad revenue…

It’s weird how Moscow gets associated with Russia but whenever St. Petersburg comes up in the news I think of the one near Tampa. This happened recently with the explosions near the Russian city.

I used to live there, it's easier because it is pronounced differently, could catch a phone scammer easily because of just that.

We need to petition who ever is in charge of such things to make the Idaho one:

Moscow (I)
