Journalists, the people of truly high integrity and commitment to objectivity... not

[aphar]

A real life replay of the old jokes ("Yankee Barbarian Kills Family Pet"/"US Marine Assaults African Immigrant and Steals His Lunch"):

"Couple heartbroken after golden retriever shot to death by neighbor"

What actually happened:

• a couple "let their dogs outside... for a run"


• the dogs went after the neighbor's chickens


• the dog was growling and teeth showing


• the neighbor felt he and his wife were in danger


• the neighbor defended himself and family

This seems like a cut and dry case.
Why do the journalists prefer to distort the truth?
Is it because of the gun being used?
What if the neighbor clubbed the offending beast?
