This is the sort of thing I think of when I hear the term "fake news". Sentences that get buried, sentences that get purposefully constructed in order to obscure/misdirect, etc. Personally, I don't care for an article or piece to be "artistic" in any way, they just need to give us facts and explanations, along with all the things they tried to ask, what they investigated, what info they weren't able to find, etc. Journalism shouldn't be an art, it should be a form of fact condensation and transference, aimed at a broad audience.
- ceejayoz 7y agoThe sentence quoted comes directly from the IG report, not the journalists. Don't blame them for the IG's wording.
