Not just uninformative

Some journalists deliberately distort stories.   I don't even trust police investigations, they are lazy asses.   They just want to jump straight to conclusions to save money and time.

I would say most journalists distort stories, since everyone has a bias, and it takes exceptional and rare discipline not to exploit it. But, really, it's unecessary to try/pretend to present an unbiased story. It would be a lot easier and more informative to just read both biased versions of a story.

Aside from planting false evidence, police can't make any conclusions--it's up to judges and juries.

But they are indeed lazy asses for (1) accepting illegally gotten money and (2) enforcing illegal laws.
