Still after many years, I cannot imagine journalists being this stupid and/or immoral/and/or liar and again, they prove me wrong: It is part of the article Inside El Chapo’s Son’s House After a Deadly Gunfight (vice.com).
Dear Mr. Chaparro: That is an unfired cartridge. The bullet is the pointy thing up front. That cartridge did not make that hole, you dumb/lying ass.
And then they say we are mean when we celebrate mass personnel reductions at media corporations and outlets. They have to see it our way: The less of them, the less chance of lies being published.
“High caliber “….. isnt that the “black thing that goes up”??? I saw this on another post and people were defending the reporter saying he stuck that in the hole to demonstrate what bullet might have made the hole… still, its a good example of how DUMB most “reporters” are.. remember the one who shot an AR and acted like it was a .50cal? Or the weather drone standing in a ditch full of water bent over from the wind and two guys walk by in shorts and tee shirts. They embellish and lie.
Not dumb. Dishonest, in all of your examples.
@Curby: “…isnt that the “black thing that goes up”???”
That would be the shoulder thing that goes up. 8>)
It was Jose Betanzos who staged the photo.
High caliber? That’s what, a .308? The 9mm on my hip is technically a larger(.355) caliber…
I was reading earlier that 80+/- “journalists” were killed in 2022. I don’t think so, most if not all, were propagandists. Journalism died an unnatural death YEARS AGO.
