this indifference to how things really are
FBI: Extremists driving school buses
here is an article of highest interest. the FBI has noticed, as the article says, that foreigners with ties to extremist groups have been able to obtain licenses to drive school buses.
it provokes these questions:
what is a foreigner?
what is a tie?
what is an extremist group?
because the AP-news-reading public is likely to have different ideas than the FBI, a responsible journalist would have endeavored to explain how the FBI obtained its information and who it investigated. a responsible wire editor would have checked whether the information in the article supported the headline.
two weeks ago in lewoh, reports from reliable sources indicated that a certain man, a known practitioner of witchcraft, offered some secondary school students some money to carry some wooden planks to his farm. when the students reached the farm they noticed that he was in the process of conjuring a rainbow, which is known to be an evil force that can swallow up those upon whom it descends. a mob gathered in the market square and were planning to beat the man to death, he having been captured. his life was saved by the doctor, who cleverly convinced the crowd to wait until morning to kill him, by which time they had lost interest in the matter.
