That's what I find so interesting with stories like this, and we see them every day. Someone constructs a story designed to do a specific thing, in this case to make Republican legislatures look bad, then fills it with just enough facts to support the purpose of the article while adding things they've either deliberately, or through lazy research, mis-represented or mis-construed. The story is then published under an impressive banner and it is then picked up by hundreds of other sources who have no interest in verifying its veracity and pretty soon virtually everyone in the demographic the story is designed to appeal to has been given a few tidbits they can then parrot among their like minded friends as facts.

And that, my dear Iris, is modern journalism in a nut shell.

Well then modern journalism sucks. It sucks balls. But we know that, and that is why it’s dying. Too bad real journalists arent following the code they were taught in J school.

edited to make sense.
