Where did I say none of the facts need to be correct? Nowhere, that’s where.

The important stuff needs to be clear, but the type of gun is not nearly as important as the fact the guy was restrained on the ground with a gun (any type of gun) to his head. Other facts that are more important than the type of gun are what led up to the events, whether the guy was still armed but only restrained, the color of the individuals in question, etc. The type of gun is so far down the list of details that need to be correct that I wouldn’t even expect it to be mentioned other than “gun.”

Also, even more important is the fact the story had the correct type of gun, only the title (not written by the journalist) is incorrect.

If they get one “unimportant” fact wrong, then why should I trust the “important” facts?
