Fucking pathetic. Why don’t people sue these news stations into oblivion when they get it wrong time after time? They always rush to be the first with info and constantly screw it up.
I bet a lot of it is on purpose. They make their comments, put that confusion and hate out there only to generate some quick ad revenue and clicks (If they can denigrate whatever minority in the process, it's a bonus). After they got what they want, they'll claim they "misspoke" which is most often merely a polite for "lie."
Jones didn't need any "mistakes" to do what he did. He made up complete lies out of nothing. All he needed was a lust for money and game. And an evil heart
For what it's worth, they're probably not doing it on purpose, they're just utterly incompetent. Broadcast "news" is awful, but Local TV is some of the worst "journalism" that exists in terms of actual competence.
Half the time they're just repeating whatever a newspaper actually investigated for months, the other half they're just mouthpieces for press releases or cop public information officers.
I bet this is the case of some dumbass TV journo sending unconfirmed misinfo they got thirdhand to the studio and a producer just ran with it because local TV doesn't fact check.
