Maureen Callahan published a piece today on how the infamous two murderers and Tillie-fuckers escaped prison.
Too bad the bitch made an absolutely glaring factual era in the FIRST LINE.
Whatever happened to JOURNALISM?
Whatever happened to FACT CHECKING?
Back on Friday, initial reports had Richard Matt "gunned down in a hail of bullets," with a few reporters logically assuming that he wouldn't have been killed if he didn't fire some shots at cops.
Then there was a press conference. Yes, within an hour of Matt being killed, the FACTS came out.
Richard Matt had not fired his rifle.
He was seen in the woods, he was ordered to drop his weapon, and he didn't. So he was shot like a sitting duck.
He was shot around 4pm, Friday, New York time. By the 6:pm local news, everyone had the story right. Matt was killed without him firing a shot at anyone. The national news went on at 6:30pm. Richard Matt was killed by a border patrol officer after Matt refused to drop his weapon.
But here, two full days later, Maureen Callahan writes: "Richard Matt was shot and killed after firing on federal agents..."
No. That's not true and it's not good reporting.
If the bitch bothered to read her own paper, and other news sources, she'd know that not only didn't Matt fire his weapon, he was DRUNK.
Reports today say that when the cops reached his body, they could smell the stink of alcohol.
It's entirely possible that this guy, so rattled and stressed by the chase, had guzzled some stolen booze from one of the cabins. He may have gotten so drunk he gave himself away by coughing.
Cops confronted him in the woods after hearing coughs.
Nobody's too concerned that a sharpshooter technically murdered a man who was not pointing a weapon and was most likely too bombed to even know what to do with himself. How long between "Put down your weapon" and the fatal shot? A few seconds?
Too bad Richard Matt isn't black. Then it would be, "Ohh, they shot the BLACK GUY, they wouldn't let him surrender!"
But, bottom line (now that I've reached it), here's yet another example of how you can no longer remotely believe what you read in the papers. Articles are loaded with slanted journalism, typos, and fiction presented as fact.
"Richard Matt was shot and killed after firing on federal agents?" 100% WRONG.
