+1 - the news media has no integrity and if I can't trust what they are saying, then why even listen? I don't watch it either.
We just had a huge story out here about a cop gone rouge and he killed 4 people-
The police went on a man-hunt.
there was 2 seconds of coverage on this - and zero details of what happened - I had to read about it on the web to find these details - the local pro - police media made the police out to be heroes for the ordeal.
2 little old ladies in a pickup truck (delivering news papers) similar to the one driven by the wanted man was spotted - a shoot out occurred - 102+ bullets were fired - the truck had almost 40 bullet holes in it - the 2 old ladies were shot up and sent to the hospital - the neighborhood this happened in had bullet holes in houses - one tree had 11 bullets in it...
One resident quoted online "it was like the Key Stone Cops - they were lucky they didn't shoot each other"
ALL THE OTHER RESIDENTS INTERVIEWED BY THE MEDIA THAT WE SAW ON OUR TV'S - "THE COPS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB!!"
A similar shoot out 15 minutes later - a man in a pickup not even the same make or model as the suspects truck was also shot up and almost died - he also was UNARMED!!
MY TAKE: the cops are scared COWARDS - shoot first - 2 little old UN-ARMED ladies AND and another UN- ARMED man almost die. Local LA news media - little to no coverage - worthless POS's!!
The cops offered the ladies a replacement used truck.. REALLY?!?
I read my news on the web - slightly less hype - slightly more truth
