A place where we like to get things right. Right?

An opportunity to correct some the problems the media exacerbates, right?

So I posted:

4. You might consider
Editing the headline to add the word 'reportedly'

---

And what do I get from someone called logical. 'Believe the eye witness unless your a cop'.

What do I get from Logical, 'shut up!'

What do I get from Logical "it's in the headline" as if this wasn't a repost also from the local media outlet.

Stellar performance indeed.

Keep dropping your gems of wisdom, but please be careful from that pedestal height.
