Typically you don’t need the media to surmise what happens, they generally distort reality.

TMZ reported it before the family was notified.

I think, these days, that being first is less meaningful than being comprehensive and accurate. “First” today isn’t like in newspaper time. Today you’re first by mere seconds. Build a rep for knowing what you’re talking about among followers.

The truth about any incident is never publicly clear for at least 72 hours, and in some cases not for another 50 years. I’m willing to wait.

The whole idea about freedom of speech and the press was the Enlightenment era belief that the truth would have to rise to the top and lies and errors be exposed if speech and press were not suppressed.
