Eh. You were close enough. More impressive is you actually drove from the San Gabriel Valley to Santa Monica to report on the ground. That must’ve been a fun drive.
Well you did say in the previous post that the quality of news stories regarding the governor race was done by a hack.
You can only rely on the sources you have. When sources are garbage it does affect your reports, but your personal integrity makes up for it and doesn’t discredit your work by any means.
I'm not so sure you were wrong the first time. I read the linked article that was your source, and it seems just as believable as what the authorities are telling you now. The original article cited authorities, too . . .
The answer the police gave is plausible, and they identified a public death that wasn't in the local news story, so I'm inclined to trust them. Public health didn't help much. Coroner's answer still pending.
Not to bust your b**ls, but this LT. Gilmour may just be repeating to you what the four-stars-on-his-collar police chief is telling him. (Fer Pete's sakes, why do these small cities make their police chiefs four-star generals? Sorry, I digress..) Gilmour is, after all, the Santa Monica PD's media liason, and he's not in a position to tell you anything of his own independent knowledge. His job is to tell you what he has been told to say.
My own grandson was, until recently, a spokesman for the police department of a city twice as large as Santa Monica. He would tell you, he always said what the police chief and the mayor told him to say about matters of policy importance. He did not do independent investigations. I'm gonna guess, Lt. Gilmour doesn't, either. I'm not saying you've been had. I'm saying it's possible.
Wouldn’t it be “it’s a miracle, a true blue spectacle, a miracle come true”* if MSM and all the others who spread the Pandemic lies, would admit what a Scam and a Major PsyOp CovidCon was, that there was never a deadly virus, it didn’t “spread” from animal to human contact, and that the COVID vaxxes have injured and killed millions of people, far more than the fake COVID virus.
Way to go Chris! - own up to mistakes as quickly as possible and then move on. That's what REAL journalists do.
I concur!
Your integrity is refreshing and much appreciated.
This is what a real man does.
Bravo, Chris.
You're now 99 out of 100. It was bound to happen.
Real man! Bless you. Standards matter.
If only they taught this kind of integrity in journalism school.
They did when I was in J school. In the late '80s. 😆
Chris, many thanks for this. If only other “journalists” were so quick to retract inaccurate stories.
Honesty as a trait is much preferable to "perfection" or "never being wrong."
🎯❤️
Holy cow! You made a mistake and admitted it???? Chris. You are not, I repeat NOT, a real journalist.
Eh. You were close enough. More impressive is you actually drove from the San Gabriel Valley to Santa Monica to report on the ground. That must’ve been a fun drive.
Pretty drive, and I got to see the ocean.
hope i'm wrong about this, but if i was you Chris i'd save the original article and repub it when the time comes. the way it looks, it probably will

Exactly! It does not discredit at all.
Everyone makes mistakes…not everyone owns up to them. It takes a big man to flat-out admit error and not try to put the blame on others.
Local news is no better than MSM, usually…at least, that’s how it is in my deep blue small city.

Have you spoken to the original Observer reporter about this? What does he think?
I'll try to, at least.

And I think we all know by now, the authorities are fine with lying if it suits the agenda. Lord knows we have seen plenty of that.
There are more 4 star police chiefs than than there were 4 star generals to win World War Eleven
So now we have a healthlessness problem too?
Thank you, Chris.
I wish you were teaching professional ethics at a university.
The world needs a whole lot more of this.
Integrity. Thank you.

Did she try to "rape the gay away"?.....
No. She wanted him to pee standing up.
The mark of a thorough and honest journalist. Makes me trust your reporting even more. Bravo.
