Opinion: Columbus’ Flock Debate Is Not Facts Versus Feelings

Technically, there were mixed views. Five is not zero. But journalism should communicate proportion as well as existence. Describing a hearing where roughly nine out of ten public speakers opposed the cameras simply as “mixed views” is like describing a 90–10 election result as evidence that voters supported both candidates. It is literally true and substantively misleading. More importantly, this framing obscures what opponents actually argued.

Police provide facts. The public provides feelings. That is not what happened Monday.

superdave 3 days ago Sinclair is not even close to a trustworthy source of news and never will be. They will spin it in favor of a police state every time.
