Okay, I’m so very sick of this shit.

CBS News headline: “One-third of those arrested by Border Patrol in Charlotte were classified as criminals, internal document says”

What the CBS News headline would be if we practiced journalism in this country instead of republishing press releases: “Two-thirds of those arrested by Border Patrol in Charlotte have no criminal history, according to internal document”

(The very first line of the actual article even moves from “one-third” to “less than one-third”!)

This isn’t hard! Just look at the things that are not what they’re trying to show you! Don’t make your readers do the work, write what you mean to say!
