I'm more worried about how easily media spins stories that have a smidge of sense into a scandal by cutting out details and making the headline sensational. While the police overstepped in this case, the article clearly wanted this specific take to be posted to spur discussion and clicks. And we all keep falling for it.

- WilTimSon 4y agoThat's not what I said. The overstepping should be dealt with, decisively. But that doesn't excuse the fact that The Mirror is a deplorable rag and absolutely does not belong on HN, considering how paltry their journalistic standards are.
