6. Why I hate today's media crap

Watch this entire video.
Here is the crux of the story:
Law enforcement officials say "militia" men pointed firearms at them.
This is backed up with interviews of credible law enforcement officers who were there.
Repeated video and pictures are shown of "militia" men pointing firearms.
Yet, crazy militia people say they did not do this.

At the end, the anchor says to reporter, "well the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle" as a bullshit cop out.

NO, NO, NO, the truth does not lie somewhere in the middle. Facts are facts.
You just showed interviews with law enforcement and multiple pictures. But because some yahoo sent you an email saying they did not do it, you have to claim a false equivalency.
There is a truth. It is not somewhere in the middle.
They said they did not do it. The deputy sheriff says they did and you just showed pictures of them doing it.
Why can't they just tell the fucking truth.
