20 years ago I stopped a bank robbery.
4 perps, the leader was wanted for 15 other robberies and assaults and went to jail for like.
Upon being interviewed by both the print media as well as t.v. news I read the papers and watched the news shows the next few days and though they reporters interviewed me as well as officers they got nearly every fact wrong.
I don’t know if they were ignorant, stupid or just liked making crap up but pathetic is the best description.
About as professional as a chineese fire drill.

And yet, their complaints as quoted in the article are completely valid.

During my years working for the local newspaper (almost 3 weeks in the past, now) I saw lots of folks work very hard to turn out the best product they could. I watched a lot of them get burned out from the uphill nature of the battle, too.
