We do agree on the premise that the Tennessee’s government response is complete bullshit.

I just hate seeing what I consider unjustified attacks on journalists, even if they have fallen by the wayside with overall quality, tenacity, and quality in the age of the internet. I don’t think it’s fair for someone to say a journalist is being disingenuous when they put something in quotes as they’re covering up or helping justify a Conservative government’s bad response.

Yeah, the whole seeking to be neutral is a bit problematic to be sure but I just don’t get that intention here since this type of headline writing has been done forever and notwithstanding a person’s account that cannot be directly verified isn’t fact under a court of law unfortunately.

I don’t distrust her account of what happened at all and while I would consider it to be valid and a fact, under the eyes of the law, it’s still a she said/he said type of thing and just my opinion, simply reporting what the government shit response was is speaking truth to power in shining that light on them. I just wish the journalist stopped right there and didn’t continue on with the Entertainment Tonight fluff that really lessened the the impact.

Great conversation, have a good one!

Absolutely correct. Notice they conveniently forget to use quotes if it’s something that agrees with their narrative or they’ll just use the whole quote rather than manipulate it.
