The truth in numbers
I'm sure this is just a normal everyday kind of thing but it made me think; news is supposed to be the news and unbiased, right? Right.
The other night it was reported that there were "about 7000 people" at an event for a political candidate. The next morning on a radio station the reporter said that "hundreds gathered" in reference to the same event.
Both could be consider true but probably not quite the accuracy I would hope for. I don't know who was closer to being right but it frustrates me that you can't just tell the story.
Makes you wonder about all that we hear and read…who do you trust? Why? How do you know something is true?
