    It gets the views up. Same with ‘including “machine guns”’ even tho there is no real evidence of that, just:

    A reporter overheard mention of handguns being found in a master bathroom safe and the words “machine gun” and "silencers.”

    “overheard mention” Top notch journalism.

      To be fair, if the police aren’t providing additional info directly yet, what other reporting do you expect?

      Not that what the police say is necessarily the truth about a situation either, anything they claim should be taken with at least a pinch of salt nowadays if not a whole salt lick.

        Something verifiable would be nice.
