CNN A Couple Of TImes This A.M. Mentioned The Officer's Version Of The Shooting - Correct Me If I'm. [View all]

wrong - but we haven't heard from the officer yet - have we? I know that some woman who is supposedly close to Wilson was to have given Wilson's side of the story - but it was not Wilson himself. So how can CNN speak of Wilson's version of the shooting. It's not really his version - because he didn't make any statements to the press.

This is just an example of how the MSM distorts news.

Instead of 'reporters' we need to start calling them 'distorters'.
