The segment argues that Tyson was used as a "concu-surf" to enforce a specific social narrative against Boosie's previous comments.
TMZ faced intense criticism for breaking the news of Kobe Bryant's death before his wife, Vanessa Bryant, and other family members were officially notified by authorities.

The outlet is accused of maintaining a network of paid informants in hotels and restaurants to secure scoops.
