Wow look at Newsweek calling an execution “found dead”
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.
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.
Well, it's a shitty situation in a shitty country, that much is certain.
But there's also a cost/benefit analysis to do here. They have to weigh the likelihood that Trump starts making their job harder, or even impossible to do vs the cost presented by the lack of clarity and possible loss of integrity that reporting like this introduces. Ultimately, they must have decided that it was better to do politically compromised reporting that let the story go unreported.
I mean it's not a good situation for journalists in this country, I don't envy them.
I mean they are reporting what literally happened. Making assumptions before an investigation would be bad journalism.
Can you tell me which years you voted for Donald Trump?
Not sure what youre on about.
Lucky you.
Clearly you do not understand US news, and should avoid it. You’re better off without it.
Funny, coming from the guy who doesn’t understand reality. Or that thinks “journalist integrity is a thing” is a reason someone voted for Trump.
Funny I’m an American who has never voted for Trump and still understand this…

Did you vote for the party most likely to beat Trump? did you not vote at all?
I dont need to "understand US news" to understand a journalists job. It is to deliver objective truths. Biasing news in the opposite direction doesnt help anyone on the long run, it just widens the gap.
