Bias reporting

[peeves]

is now the daily 'news' we get usually no longer impartial.

The headlines particularly bug me. They are intentionally slanted to a bias and exploitation.

Case in point, we get this headline.

"Disabled Man w/ Service Dog Assaulted in Kitchener, Ontario Restaurant."

I've heard nothing to support or prove that the guy is indeed legally -medically disabled.Nothing to prove the dog is a sanctioned service dog.

Nor, any reason ,from the restaurant's side of the fracas.

The problem with this biased headline or reporting today is the social network will respond in minutes. Picketing of the place,name calling and threats will be organised..Boycott-BOYCOTT!  will become the call and like a claim of a 50 year old rape, reputations will be ruined before there is any factual unbiased investigation.

I'm pretty much convinced that the internet/the social network is an alien conspiracy to divide and implement Pogo's philosophical judgment of "us".

Bias reporting, is rampant in just about all news,  they all have their own slants, political leanings, and will click bait with tempting headlines to get you to enter their site.  We've stopped watching a lot of TV news this past couple months, the liberal and "poor me"  bias of a most of the leading networks is outrageous.

I agree that too often we are not given the whole story and often the headlines do not reflect actual content.
You didn't give a link to the actual story, but I found this which says the man has Aspergers the dog is his service dog, I assume it is an emotional support animal. It sound like the restaurant didn't give him enough time to produce the papers.

“Of course we want everybody to come here, we’re a business,” he said. “We had nothing to do with the dog. We said the dog has to have a permit. You don’t show [it], dog not allowed.”

“We have so many customers that come in here with dogs, eye dogs, or anything,” said Gianopoulis. “They show their permit the first time they come in here, and the next time we don’t ask them again. But the first time everybody has to show [them].”

CTV News spoke with Justin Leckie, the man with the service dog in the video, on Thursday.

He said he was seated when two men approached him, demanding to see his service dog’s certification.

Leckie, who lives with Asperger’s, said the dog is a comfort to him.

“I don’t just show my papers to anybody,” he explained. “She helps me with general anxiety, panic attack, depression, that type of thing.”

Leckie said he was holding the dog’s papers when he was asked to leave the restaurant.

“I resisted because I said ‘No, I haven’t done anything wrong,’” he says. “They weren’t having any of it. They said if you don’t get up right now we’re dragging you out right now. And they did.”
