Re: This should be interesting.......
They intended to portray their reported as a fearless journalist willing to
risk life and limb in pursuit of a factual story about a flood.
The actual story was the river had overflowed the road by 2-3 inches, they
knew the water was 2-3 inches deep, and with malice of forethought intended
to portray it otherwise.
On another note very few people where I live would consider 2-3 inches of
water standing in the street as a flood. We would refer to it as the result
of a 'hard rain'.
You may be asking yourself that if I had ever been flooded I would feel
differently. If you like I can post pictures of my partially finished
basement shoveled into the back of a dump truck and also pix of the repair
work I did... (did personally) over the years.
