When you read article after article that imply one thing, but actually say something else, how should we respond?
Parsing out what the article says is necessary.
It’s how articles are written, and how reporters and editors ask they be read.
“John Doe committed a terrible crime, the FBI said” does not mean the press is reporting the John Doe committed a terrible crime.
I wish the press would respond to cultivated mistrust by committing to high standards, but they have not.
