18 News Stories That Forgot To Tell You The Best Part
Today's site from that less than model of investigative journalism,
Cracked.com, offers the missing facts on recent high profile news stories.
Gentle Subscribers will enjoy the inside scoop on this diverse group of widely
reported events which mysteriously omitted a few salient facts the first time
around.
"The media loves a good dramatic story. Even more than that, the media loves
leaving out key details to make an already dramatic story into an ultra
dramatic one. ... But, fortunately, this whole damn planet lives on the
Internet, where a stone shall never go unturned and those key details never
stay hidden long."
Contributed by vigilant whistleblowers, these stories serve up a smorgasbord of
topics. Ranging from the ever popular politician caught in the inevitable web
of half truths and obfuscation, to journalists embellishing a ho-hum story to
liven it up, this selection spares no one. From the Crimea to Italy and Florida
to Flint, Michigan this collection revels in the telltale facts that cast the
events in a different and revealing light.
Note: Surprisingly, for a Cracked.com feature, the language is generally not
offensive.
