If you’re going to “report” “breaking news” with the “help” of your “friends”, get it “right”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sigh. Here we go.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here’s a few things to note:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The quality of Elizabeth Missunderstood Jefferies’ photos is right up there with Leonard’s.<\/li>\n
  2. I don’t think that “Missunderstood” is her real middle name, but it is Danville. That means there’s a 8% chance that it really is her middle name.<\/li>\n
  3. I’m mesmerized by the Danville Police Department’s new purple lights on their cars. Wait, what?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let’s do a quick factchecking of what was “reported”<\/p>\n

    First, Leonard reports that one suspect ran. Judges?<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    There were three suspects.<\/p>\n

    Second, Leonard reports that the “POPO” is searching in the dark. Judges?<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    All three suspects were captured and arrested.<\/p>\n

    Finally, Leonard tries to make a joke about the competence of the Danville Police Department. Judges?<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    They did their job perfectly within 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

    If you’re going to do real reporting on stories like this, all you have to do is contact the Danville Police Department. They will give you the facts.<\/p>\n

    Of course, it’s a lot easier to just regurgitate what a “Missunderstood” person tells you and take a potshot at the police department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
