Sorry....she made a bad decision.
The news of my brother's death got out before we were notified. My mother heard it on the bus' radio on her way home from work. She staggered to the front door just as the police arrived.
The existing so-called journalism world is rife with bad decisions.
How many examples do you need?
Rumor, gossip, un-sourced or unverified literal propaganda...
Seriously?
