Here is the story, I had to look it up
https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...d-court-rules/

My opinion. The police went a tad too far for one individual.

Were the details of the story correct ??

Did what the headline show actually happen ?

That is like saying when "man1" shoots and kills "man#2" and the headline says "man1 shoots and kills man#2"......that could be called negative news about "man1".

Point is it was accurate.....there is an assumption that people read beyond headlines.

If you do something wrong, you cannot complain about the subsequent publicity surrounding your wrongful act.

Here is a screen shot of the "headlines" on my computer this morning;

Disclaimer; I read all articles. My family will tell me what to further think about them later this week...………..I have one employed by each side...…..
You alluding to "each side" is a very telling comment on how you feel about news.

Interesting, I do not recall making any statement close to referring to a "side"

Factually, I have been consistent in my criticism of cable news as a first line choice or news, and actually have never referred to a cable channel by its name.

Interesting though that it was read that I mentioned "side". Perhaps, you can point out on this thread about news coverage where I may have said that.

Bottom line to me is though those who are disgusted with news might actually be disgusted with the NEWSMAKERS, not the media who reports it.
