Media, the media could fuck up a one car funeral. It’s a damn snow ball effect. They interview the dumbest person on the “scene” of an incident, that stupid person makes an inaccurate statement, the media latches onto it and it snow balls from there. I have seen it, been part of it with other situations, and still deal with it to this day.
I deal with these idiots on a weekly basis when they call in “looking” for stories because it is a slow news night. They always report the wrong stuff and are always trying to make shit more interesting than it is.
