a854: Lawmaker's assasination
From: Bruce Wharram <bruce.wharram@sev.org>
----------------------------------------
Comparing the Reuters and the AP articles regarding the recent
assassination of
a Haitian lawmaker and the differences in the "facts" reported, I begin to
wonder again who to believe when it comes to reporting major news items.
Consider the reported "facts":
Reuters AP
Name spelling: Durogene
Dirogene
Location: Appears to be Gonaives
Appears to be PaP
Circumstances: Sitting in car with bodyguards Driving
car
with wife beside him
daughter & bodyguards in back
Cause of shooting: Argument between gunmen Refusal
of
Dirogene to give gunmen
and
bodyguards a ride
If the newsgroups can't get these relatively simple facts correct, and who
knows what's correct here, how are to believe the facts of the more major
matters?
