OK, WPTA, Which Is It?

Media elite like to complain that their audience is ignorant and confused, and must depend on them for information and direction. 

Then the media elite do something like this. 

They tease their news story with a factually ignorant Tweet:


But their news story says something different:


So, who officially ruled the death a homicide? New Haven PD, or the Allen County coroner? 

To be clear, by Indiana statute, only the county coroner can make the official determination when it comes to cause of death (blunt-force trauma) and manner of death (homicide). While the New Haven police are reliable professionals, they are not entitled by Indiana statute to make the determination that WPTA indicates they did in the Tweet promoting their story. 

Simply stated, the media elite are either lazy or just as confused as the audience they like to ridicule.

Ignorance or arrogance? Maven thinks its a little of both.

    ---I always find that whenever I hear about a death under "less than normal": conditions, it's usually a HOMICIDE and I make the call sometimes DAYS before the coroner gets around to it, and am not afraid to post it that way.
    (coming from a police family helps along those lines)
    Maybe the media should call ME first...heh.
    ---BTW. it's the arrogance OF their ignorance...or the other way around, but DEFINITELY BOTH.

    Good post.

    Stay safe out there.
