Called it

Two months ago, this blog raised suspicions about the developing story of an Illinois police officer who had been reportedly shot to death by three unidentified "suspicious subjects," one of them said to be black. A large-scale manhunt was on by local and state authorities and the news networks were in the middle of breathless coverage. The point of the post was to highlight the fact that news agencies still accepted police department media releases as Gospel, despite the exposure of widespread police misinformation exposed by a revolution in civilian video.

Well, that officer's death has now been ruled a suicide. But the news coverage today is not breathless.
