When the media lies

By Tangotiger, 01:35 AM

In this article, the journalist seems to report a story that seems to be impossible to get wrong.

And yet when you read the comments of the fans who were actual witness to the game, they are all in unison, with this account being the one being agreed to by the other witnesses:

This is a lie. I was at the game. A video came on and said “This is Sidney Crosby” and that’s when fans booed. Then came Toews and Miller and no one booed during them. Then when it was clear it was an anti-cancer message no one was booing.

If the media doesn’t call out its own, you really tarnish all of you.  At this point, I’m more likely to believe those anonymous who say they were at the game, then those paid to report facts.
