A Great Example of Poor Reporting

While too many stations, podcasts, and other social media do this very thing, I’m using what I listened to from RT as of 8/9/2019 8:21AM Friday.

This story was presented in less than 4 minutes on RT’s The Resident. The subject: “79-year-old jailed for feeding stray cats in Ohio.” This made me curious to watch; like all RT’s The Resident’s topics. Since I’m working on other stuff, it makes for great background noise and such. In short, a man was taking care of some cats, and eventually moved from the area, abandoning the cats to fend for themselves. While this guy must be brought up on charges for criminal abandonment and neglect, that was not so much the focus. The focus was on an elderly woman who chose to feed and care for the abandoned creatures. While nothing could be erroneous about that, things did get bad. This lady had been taking care of many animals and while that can warm the heart of those not attached to any of this, it freezes the hearts of those who must deal with her irresponsibility. This woman’s adoptive pets would crap in the neighbors’ yards and she would not clean it up.

If you have kids, or a nice yard or decent yard you like to walk around in, or cut on warm weekends, it may drive you up the wall knowing your kids, or you cannot enjoy a yard you’re paying for, and taking care of, because you may not be able walk on it without stepping in…

A catch-all topic based channel without restraint. I’m about shedding light through the fog using compare & contrast, mixed with reasoning, and personal views.
