How come news isn't upfront with us? They said that the boy who died at the worlds largest water slide died from a "neck injury" now they're saying he was "decapitated". Why didn't they say that in

the first place? Why must there be things "sugarcoated"? We live in a unforgiving world, there's nothing to hide. It just upsets me when they don't tell the full truth at the beginning.

    This is a damned good question...or at least it would be if we hadn't already come to understand that the major sources of 'news' have played fast and loose with the facts for generations.

    That is your example of how the media lies?  In this case, they probably made mistake and got it wrong?  What is there to get upset about?

    How about turning on FOX News if you really want to get upset about the media lying.  24 hours of nothing but.

  • I would consider decapitation to be a very serious neck injury.

    Isn't "Fox news" an oxymoron?

    They should have got the facts straight before airing the story.

  • Being decapitated would injury one's neck rather dramatically.

    Decapitation = Neck Injury to the Nth degree.

    Decapitation is just a "flesh wound".

    Didn't you see Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

    Perhaps when the story first aired that is the only information that had been released.
