"Narrative" implies that it is commentary and not news. You said yourself that they have an angle. That makes their credibility as "news" unreliable. The only source cited in the article is the victim's lawsuit, the details of which are presented as fact instead of allegations. They didn't even cite a statement from the police department.

Again, I think this story is highly plausible, even likely, but I would want a source that wasn't so implicit in their bias.

I'm sick and tired about this so-called neutrality in the news. When you have all the facts and the understanding of the story, please also give your opinion on it.

My point is they don't have all the facts. They have the contents of a lawsuit and nothing else.

No it does not imply that.

And as I said every news has an angle, having an angle is not unreliable.

Why the fuck should they cite a statement from the police department? Does every other paper give statements from the alleged perpetrators every other time they cite the police?

Go take your centrist “both sides need a voice” shit elsewhere.

Yes let's pretend news media has no bias
