David Guyatt Wrote:ABC & Fox News reports. Read and weep at the dire state of media reporting.
This is Fox:
Quote:"We would like to remind the community and Akein Scott that the time has come for him to turn himself in," Serpas said at a news conference outside police headquarters.
A photo of Scott hung from a podium in front of the police chief. "We know more about you than you think we know," he said.
Serpas said it was too early to say whether he was the only shooter.
Compare with ABC News:
Quote:"We would like to remind the community and Akein Scott that the time has come for him to turn himself in," Serpas said at a news conference outside police headquarters.
A photo of Scott hung from a podium in front of the police chief. "We know more about you than you think we know," he said.
Serpas said it was too early to say whether he was the only shooter.
Two of these three para's have also been used in the same order by the Scottish Daily Record and Yahoo News.
When the media simply repeat without thought or fact checking, the handouts of a PR team over major events as this one was, then they truly no longer can expect to be taken seriously.
Then there's this:
Quote:Serpas said it was too early to say whether he was the only shooter.
It wasn't "too early to say" last Sunday and yesterday, however.
It now seems all stories are now focusing on only one shooter - a lone gunman no less - whereas the original reports of there being three different shooters appear to be fading into obscurity.
Watch this space.
Hmmm....patterns here.....at the 'Batman Shoot-em Up' most people reported two or more shooters or persons involved...then one was arrested drugged/mind-controlled out of his mind in his car and declared the 'lone-nut'....now here is another similar incident and there have been MANY other such 'events' following this pattern I could name.
