Editing the Editing

My pet peeve , the news especially the newspaper and TV but all reportage
To-day on " Q " a radio show hosted by Jian Gomeshi on the CBC , he interviewed a performer , who is doing a one man show on our Mayor Rob Ford.
Previously , the performer had been criticized for his Steve Jobs show where many inaccuracies were reported. He ended up apologizing
During this show " Q " , the topic of journalism came up and he used the phrase ' editing the editing ' which is how I see the print media absolutely and TV , only slightly less so.
Or as I say print news is ' spin on the spin '
Someone else chose what is news
And then paraphrases what he or she thinks they heard
And when is ' we are not sure of the details ' or ' we don't know much at this time ' , news. COAC .

Weather : warm , cool , damp , dry / chance of thunderstorms
Don't like the conditions - wait , it'll change

The water went up , 8 inches over the week and more wood is visiting the dock at QMH . The southerly or west - ish wind made it impossible to re -  launch the visiting wood.
I propped the marine rails , and am more or less certain that the boat will go into the water and come back up. The last part ,  is always dicey  -  the coming back up part.
