And you wonder why no one beleaves the news any more. None of them can get their stories strait
Why can't news companies get the news correct, or get the same result/answer. They are always pressed to get the news out first!!! even if is inaccurate. Or wrong. Just look at this current wild fire in Australia. You have to take an average to figure out how many deaths there are:
CNN says 166, NBC 171, FOX 171, ABC 166, CBS 135, heraldsun 166, mail.com 130
Mail, NBC, CBS and FOX all say 750 homes destroyed, CNN say 800
NBC, ABC and CBS say the temp is 117°F, while CNN still trying to be the big dog says 118°F.
This happens with every news story out there. The stations wonder why people don't stay tuned in to their only station 24/7. This is why. This is also why I am sure people like you tend to turn to the internet to get a variority of stories and draw your on conclusion to what is happing. I commend you on that. I support you going out and doing your own reporting. You will be 3 times more accurate as these big-wigs. And they wonder why twitter is fast becoming the first place people look for correct news.
