Lawsuit claims Subway’s tuna mix doesn’t contain any tuna and is ‘mixture of various concoctions’
Read full article: Lawsuit claims Subway’s tuna mix doesn’t contain any tuna and is ‘mixture of various concoctions’A new lawsuit filed last week in California claims Subway’s tuna mixture doesn’t actually contain any tuna but is really a “mixture of various concoctions.”According to the CBS News, the lawsuit was filed on behalf of two residents in California who say they were “tricked into buying food items that wholly lacked the ingredients they reasonably thought they were purchasing.”The pair’s lawyer, Alex Brown with Lanier Law Firm, told CBS that they are trying to figure out what exactly is in the tuna as independent lab results have so far only determined what isn’t in it. The lawsuit states that Subway’s tuna products “entirely lack any trace of tuna as a component, let alone the main or predominant ingredient,” USA Today reported. AdSubway’s website, however, lists their tuna mix as flaked tuna blended with creamy mayo. Subway has been in hot water before in terms of their sandwiches. In October, an Irish court said Subway bread wasn’t really bread because it contains too much sugar.

The language used by the American media to describe last week's Capitol siege proves one thing whatever your perspective: Words matter.

Even as the building was being stormed, Trump supporters in the media were calling into question who was responsible. Fox anchor Martha MacCallum, before the scope of the violence inside the Capitol was known, called the breach a “huge victory” for protestors. The nation's deep divisions played out in the media before and after protestors moved on the Capitol.

The closeness of the race in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina proved another challenge. “We just have to be certain before we call a winner in the presidential election,” said Sally Buzbee, executive editor and senior vice president of the AP. Heading into Saturday, CNN, CBS, NBC and ABC — which coordinate their vote counts and exit polls — had Biden at 253 electoral votes.

Cable and broadcast news divisions followed the story closely, even as they learned that election night coverage was a relative dud with viewers. An estimated 56.9 million people watched coverage over 21 networks during primetime hours Tuesday, down sharply from the 71.4 million viewers on election night 2016, the Nielsen company said.
