Gunmen..

On the ticker, CityPulse had the banner headlines
' Gunman in Co. shooting released..... '
' Pakistan, gunmen kill............... '
Who are the gunmen ? Why isn't the banner ' person who shot ' or ' gun wielding idiots shoot at mosque ' 
I got to thinking how this wording affects the news and the perception of the news. Gunman is so generic, its almost a total misrepresentation of the facts.
Realizing the banner needs to fit the TV screen , I'm betting the newspaper headline would be no better.
We are in the midst of rotating one day teacher's strikes. The facts: the province has legislation that will impose wage freezes and the provision to outlaw strike action -- the teachers feel that the legislation is undemocratic. There are nuances and SPIN but you should read the news reports to get the spin on the  spin.

Bright blue skies and cooler, to-day. Weather boy is fully dressed w/ arrow up. Texas is sending us a storm bringing rain and snow.

Good news ??? 
' the shouting and the tumult dies
the captains and the kings depart
still stands thine ancient sacrifice
a' humble and a contrite heart '
