Just Words
This morning while reading the Chicago online news from one of their TV stations, I came across two versions of the same news. One stated; "Caught on tape:man run down". Below that was another version, "Caught on tape;man run over". One version insinuates that the man was accidentally run over while the other statement seems to convey that the man was chased by a car and that they were accidents. After viewing the tapes, it is obvious that the driver hit the man on purpose, knocked him down and ran over him in the process.

This implies to me that the person writing the headline for the story had not even seen the tape. Even though this is a trivial misuse of word, it makes me wonder whether the rest of the items on the site are true, made up or just misstatements. I have decided to block this site rather than risk getting erroneous information as news. Moving on....

Any comments?
