I sent this to the news paper. My email below the reply.

 

 

 

Thank-you for your feedback. While police did advise us it was a "lab" you are quite correct in that this in the incorrect use of the word. I have changed the story on our website to reflect this and advised all of our journalists to keep an eye on this for future. The changes should be live within about 15 minutes.

Thanks and best regards,

Since when has a hydroponic grow set up become a laboratory.

It is about time journalists started reporting facts only. PLEASE STOP SENSATIONALIST JOURNALISM.

 

 

And this was my reply to Mikarla:

Wow I am impressed. Thank you for your reply. I am 62 years old and over my

lifetime I have come to realize that reporting the facts only, in this

modern age, does not sell papers or advertising space in the television

media. It is refreshing to read this from you.

 

It is not just about drugs.

 

It is journalism that covers all aspects of daily happenings. Stories seem

to get embellished. Just to sell.

 

Yes the police always seem to add more to the facts to make themselves look

great.

Always over estimate the $ amount after a bust. To justify their losing

"WAR" on drugs.

 

Thank you so much again.
