I noticed this as well. I didn't even bother to argue the point that the Joker doesn't have red hair but the media was trying to spin it as if to say Holmes dyed his hair red to look like the Joker. As if Holmes imitating the joker makes a difference in the murder and wounding of so many people. That was one aspect of all the reporting that has been done that has totally bugged me.
I also wonder if he ever made the statement that he was the Joker.

And this couldn't be chalked up as a simple reporting mistake?
I don't get all the conspiracies surrounding this. Why would the police have not taken the shooter out to prevent him from talking?
Does not make sense.

I think you will see after reading the thread that I am not concerned about the details of this particular case as much as I am concerned about the path our media is taking us. We are headed down a road we are going to have trouble returning from unless people stop defending awful journalism practice and demanding explanations.

Did you even read my several posts that explained my stance and what the OP is about. You aren't the first to miss the point, I probably could have been clearer or explained it better.. Of course, I think that so far this thread has actually done an amazing job demonstrating the influence the media has on perception.

One of the things that is just totally dumbfounding me is that people are able to defend these media outlets and say its just lazy journalism.. The removed information can't be true and thus these media outlets removed it. In the same breath they are also able to tell me what is true because the MSM did cover it, or still has it included in their story. If they can be lazy with the information you say is false, what makes you think they aren't "lazy" with what is true.
I have a hard time believing "lazy".
