Judge sends honor student to jail for missing school

27. Apparently, she's been late or missing often enough that a judge

has already warned her, but why would any of those details be worth putting in the article.

I'm not sticking up for the judge here, but it's not like she missed A DAY of school. Perhaps the judge is hoping to get her to realize she can't do this on her own and that she needs to get help. Perhaps the judge is sending a message to those around her that they're putting too much on her shoulders. Perhaps the judge is just a total asshole.

Like the story not long ago about the woman in SC that was upset that her assistance payments were done on a BoA check card and that it was 50 miles to the nearest BOA, so she had to pay a lot of third party fees to access the money. The story was written to direct the user to a predetermined conclusion. It was never mentioned that there were 5 BoA branches or ATM's within 6 miles of her.

The only question is, is this sloppy journalism (laziness), propaganda (cherry picking facts to support a specific conclusion) or an editorial hatched job where the writer put all of the relevant info into the article only to have some editor chop it down to X words.
