[QUOTE="bball, post: 1595360, member: 23752"] We live in an age of misinformation. Too often, media outlets, in their effort and desire to be the first to break a story, run with and disseminate incorrect information. Now we have have community leaders and officials who are caving to the pressure of media outlets and are trying to "get ahead" of a situation even before they themselves have gathered the actual facts. They form a quick hypothesis, based on statements and circumstantial evidence, without verifying the veracity of those statements. They then provide that inaccurate info to the media dogs. After the media dogs twist the info to meet whatever agenda they have, who knows what truly happened anymore. It's sad and embarrassing. A vicious cycle that perpetuates itself. This unfortunate event truly catalogs the disgusting nature of our news cycle and it's impact on leaders and investigators. Integrity in media is virtually non existent. [/QUOTE]
