It's a highlighting style. I'm pointing out that the reference questioned was the local paper for the university that did the study, ergo was appropriate.

Penn State has corrected the statement:

The comment by Wayne Sebastianelli, the school’s director of athletic medicine, came Monday as he spoke to a local school board about high school preparations and precautions. According to a Penn State Health spokesman, Sebastianelli was speaking about “initial preliminary data that had been verbally shared by a colleague on a forthcoming study” and was not aware that it had been published, showing a rate of close to 15 percent among athletes, most of whom had experienced mild or no symptoms. Neither Sebastianelli nor Penn State conducted that study and he apologized for the confusion.

Contrary to what misleading and ethically compromised pundits have to say, COVID-19 endangers everyone's health.

McClatchey is a yuge media company, not some local newsletter. Before dissing a source, you should know what it is

When I make fun of Trump, I am dissing him. Same for a media outlet. We’ll just be different that way.
