A local news reporter covering a story of fire fighters who were dismissed for “inappropriate pictures,” described “inappropriate pictures” as bureaucratic speak for, what an unnamed source who had seen the pictures described as “bad.”
Whether you say “inappropriate pictures,” or “bad,” the report has nearly zero semantic content.
To illustrate, here’s a quick summary:
Four unnamed fire fighters were terminated in Cherokee County, GA because of “inappropriate pictures,” which were taken at some unknown fire station in Cherokee County, on some unknown date, involving a person or persons or animals or plants or minerals unknown. The “inappropriate pictures,” have also been described as “bad.”
Do you see any “news” in that morass of undisclosed, unnamed, unknowns?
It sounds more like a soft-porn ad than a news report.
If you want to gain credibility as a reporter, try reporting facts on stories that inform the public on issues relevant to them. Leave the soft-porn to others.
