And yet they are reporting this as “suicide”, I suppose taking the ICE medical examiner’s word as truth. That’s some mighty bad journalism as far as I’m concerned.
I mean, they’re also putting all the facts they have in the story. They’re just adding official administration-aligned labels so that the powers that be leave them alone.
It’s like if a science teacher at a Catholic school did a whole unit on evolution, saying “God created this universe, including the amazing way that DNA mutation enables species to differentiate over long periods of time. We can thank God for this complex environment, which provides various ecological and geographical pressures that drive the process of evolution.” (Just throw in the key word they’re looking for a few times and get on with your job)
So in other words they are capitulating to fascists, when the responsible thing to do would be to report that ICE is claiming this isna suicide, not that it is a suicide. Sounds like shitty journalism.
To be fair, they also said “with hands and feet tied.” They’re avoiding getting into legal hot water and all the readers know this smells like murder.
“suspicious death at ice facility” would be fine.
IMHO, hearing that the person was hog tied really punctuated that headline for me.
Thank you

I don’t think legal hot water is something that applies to journalism today.
Trump is litigiousness AF.
