Why’s that important? The thing is you need to follow every possible lead, which is real, which is diversion, you don’t know till you check.
Take a break from the internet today dude, you’re already on the downswing.
I gave you an example, I’m not expanding the story, I’m sorry you can’t comprehend that.
When did this become about investigators following leads? This was about ABC reporting a detail that added nothing important to the story and the lack of it would have taken nothing important from the story.
Investigators aren’t perfect, and yeah you don’t know what small detail is important toll investigators check. What’s wrong with journalists doing their own investigating? It actually has lead to results police/investigators missed before.
We only know it’s not important in hindsight, it could still be important since they haven’t found it as you said. So you are making claims it’s not when we don’t even know yet….
Yeesh dude.
This is also not about journalists doing investigating. This is about putting an unnecessary detail in a story.
Omitting unnecessary details is one of the first things you learn in a journalism class. It was not a necessary detail for the readers.
