@itlastslonger@ABC Jonathan, if I didn't know how the law works, I wouldn't comment on a News Post, and I wasn't asking for opinions. So, if you have something of substance to say, please do.
@StevenWbr549@ABC Steven how in the world did you jump to this conclusion? The man was arrested. I don't need to be told what to think about it- it's obvious there has not yet been a trial. This has absolutely nothing to do with your comment. Cheers.
@katywross@ABC Katy, yes of course. Intend of use with layers and court which is typically the place of criminals. This reporting style is not appropriate for thinking citizens that follow the law- its very obvious its used to sway though and polarize.
@HeavenDivineJoy@ABC Exactly- this is court language, not common man or public language- it only polarizes so go ahead and judge yourself rather than others- I promise you are wrong.
Brotha- in the court of law yes. For the common man following the law there is absolutely no reason to use such a persuasive word. Just tell me the facts. Man was arrested for XXX. Thats all, done. This is exactly why the contra is so polarized. We used to all get along regardless of viewpoint. Looks like my dick for brains served me well.
Poor assumption, Bill. This isn't about the constitution- media is not mentioned within for very good reason. The word 'allegedly' only sprang up in popular use 20 years ago- it predisposes the reader / viewer of potential controversy- the fact that a law was broken is really the end of the story for the common man- which is why we have courts and a jury. The simple fact media uses the word is a proposal judge fore themselves- which is exactly then reason politics is so polarized today.
@KelliFitz72@ABC The media should make no statement to status. Just the facts. The man was arrested. Period. Absolutely no need to color the facts with anything.
@pbuscio67@ABC They made a choice to cover it. Not really a story that should be publicized, for, it does not impact or pose a risk to law abiding citizens.
Not that simple. You may have also noticed, only in the past 20 years, media using ultra descriptive and unnecessary wording for purposes of ‘shading’ the story before the reader even notices- you will agree that media should report facts, not attempt to sculpt minds, regardless of the topic.
