I have come to the conclusion that the media are basically lazy. They get most of their information off the AP. I don't know of many/any who go out and investigate a story on their own.
They all follow the same story(ies) and that's it!
IMHO
Yes, and no. Perhaps some are lazy. I don't believe that they get their news from the AP.. The AP usually picks up stories from a reporter (who gets paid for it) and then it releases it.. Some reporters send directly to AP also..
I usually get my information from the most direct source, which in this case is the police or the AG's office. Neither the police nor the AG office is saying anything.
You can check past court reports, and convictions, but that has nothing to do with the current case. You can interview neighbors, but doubt that nothing new would come out of that since the police have done so.
You can't print rumors or your own opinions. And as far as Noyes goes his medical records are not available under Hepa laws.
Reporters also don't make a lot of money and they don't get paid to be a detective. Like any other business a reporter gets paid to produce.. They may want to follow it on their own time but that is a different story.
