They have an engine called the Press
… Whereby the people are deceived.
ABC News is spreading a story about the place where I work, which simply contradicts the facts. There is something more than just laziness or tight deadlines involved. The writer did not do his research, or he is lying, or both.
And it is costing the company money.
I used to be in the newspaper business. They tell lies for money. I also used to work in a law firm that was part of a crooked political machine. They lawyers were more honest than the newspapermen, folks. Next time you hear a lawyer joke, simply substitute the word “journalist” in your mind’s ear for the word “lawyer” and the joke will be closer to the truth.
