"Listing the actions" is also known as reporting. It's a style of journalism — devoid of emotional editorialising and outright fabrication — that remains popular amongst at least some of us liberals.
- coredog64 9y ago> He then watched helplessly as the truck rammed into a bus carrying members of the First Baptist Church of New Braunfels. Thirteen people were killed. [some stuff deleted] The accident was one of many that might have been prevented had Governor Perry signed the 2011 texting bill into law. Suggesting that Perry not signing the bill into law and killed 13 people isn't emotional editorialising? People who text and drive are bad at risk assessment. People who are bad at risk assessment are more likely to ignore laws like this. So what is the fking point of this paragraph except to create a link in the reader's mind that Rick Perry literally murders people with his veto pen?
