Which Story?


  • Which story is easier to understand?
  • Which story contains extraneous pieces of "cop speak"?
  • Which story tells you a story? 
  • Which story is a jumble of facts, thrown together in a convoluted manner?
  • Which story uses complicated words, when simpler ones will do?
  • Which story is cut and pasted from a police press release?
  • Which story was written by a reporter who personally gathered the facts?
  • Which story was assembled by a glorified stenographer?


The choice is yours...

  2. Reading the WOWO story is like taking a gravel road at about 60.
