Funny how newspapers ‘tweak’ Stories
Just seen this in the Guardian online
https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/18/man-rescued-by-uk-black-lives-matter-protester-is-ex-police-officer
And wonder what members think about how papers ‘pick and choose’ or word certain articles to biased the reader?
In this article the heading itself picks out that the man in the photo ‘is an ex police officer’ and writes the story therefore in that order.
He is actually a delivery driver and went there with other football fans - Millwall to ‘protect statues’ which it conveniently mentioned later in the story. The men that helped him said on BBC TV yesterday morning they went their to protect young people who were getting caught up in the protests with no adult supervision!
How would you have worded it ? Is the Guardian worse than other newspapers politically ?
