“From “He shot everyone with the pistols - the rifle was in the trunk”
to
“He shot everyone with the rifle.”

When will any of these news sources get the story straight? It was bad enough yesterday, when it changed hour to hour, but it’s still changing materially today.”


I have been following those “changes” all day today - the pistols do not fit the narrative for the upcoming assault weapons ban.

That thought has certainly crossed my mind.

It seems the media writes their stories the way they want the stiuation to have happened, not what really happened.

Take this very thread for example.

The story was originally published with the title posted, and the words also

I found this out by doing a search:

News for The gunman in the Newtown massacre had ...

The top linked story (from which this tread was taken) has changed to:

Newtown gunman forced his way into school, police say

UPDATED 3:21 p.m. ET: Newtown massacre gunman Adam Lanza forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School, where his youngest victims were shot at close range, law enforcement officials told NBC News.

The chilling details emerged as authorities prepared to release the names of the 20 children and six adults slaughtered Friday at the Connecticut school.

They use the term "updated" to mean "too many people know the real story so we had to change ours.

Google saves the old story, but the link goes to the new story

Here is what I searched, it clears things up.

Google search on The gunman in the Newtown massacre had an "altercation" with four staff members

Mods, can we leave the "wrong" title up on this one?

Reports were/are erroneous/incomplete. No way the shooter could have fired off the amount of ammo that he actually did in that little time with pistols unless they were 'modified.' TMK, actual officials have not specified the exact type of weapon(s) used, only that it was a "long gun." The media is reporting it's the bush, one of which they reported was found in shooter's vehicle. Media's been wrong more than right, so it's best wait for & work off actual information from Lt. Vance and his colleagues.
