I don't know what you wrote, and yes as the mod I should read that. But cut me/us some slack and use some white space in there. One solid block of text just is not appealing, so your ideas/thoughts are getting lost.

@ToolGuy what I see is enormous pressure to be "first" with "breaking news" which many times causes things to go awry. But responsible news bureaus/people will run corrections as soon as they become available. Those are the sources I trust! In addition, I strongly believe we would never know about the incarceration/"losing" of immigrant children, for one example, without the press!
