“”I had NO idea that REFORM schools still existed!! BRAVO!! MORE kids should be in REFORM SCHOOL!!!””

Nor did I. Sounds as tho’ it would work better than the alternative schools CA had or maybe still has. Those kids just went to a different school than “normal” ones. With the punishment of these kids, they will learn some tough lessons. For their community service, they will actually have to look senior citizens in the eye and picture someone treating their elderly grandparents as they treated Karen.

I think the guy from Toronto wanted to reach out and slap that bimbo reporter - that was such a dumb question.
“What would you say to THOSE who say???””” NO - there aren’t those who say - IT’S only YOU!!

It must be the first thing they learn in journalism classes if they ever attended one!

Not in J school but every editor/reporter I ever worked with phrased their personal questions in that manner.

Same with the “Some Believe” and all similar phrases. It’s standard procedure. It’s biased, leading and wrong, but it’s totally common across the media. Now if “Some say” is followed by hard examples as in ...

“Some say the sky is blue. We asked Prof. Joe Jones, who showed that...”

That’s another thing. But “Some say” without attribution is ALWAYS an agenda driven question.
