ABC News is going into overtime with a special report.

ABC, at least, seems disinclined to shut up. I don't think it's going to be invited on Air Force One anymore.

"Appears to show" "gun"

Instead of "ICE murdered unarmed man".

Just the banality, the laziness of it. Going through the motions.

Lie, repeat 3 times, and then deflect.

They had some “expert” on (I think a former NY police officer??) who basically speculated that the guy was up to no good because he had a gun and ammo. That was enough for me to turn it off.
