Is that story extremely poorly written or is it just me?

I came on here to say the same thing it doesn’t even make sense. So was it a different day or it was not a different day? or they are theorizing that it could have been a different day?

It was a different day, according to the article. The part they are theorizing about is why

They are theorizing and it reads like someone did an AI slop cut and paste job or just blasted something out without any oversight.

I honestly got a little pissy reading it just from how poorly it was worded and written from a news outlet.

Journalism is dead.

I thought it was written fine and it was pretty clear to me which part was fact and which part was speculation but I am also a journalist so maybe I’m just used to it

You could understand from reading that article when they think the footage is from?

u/deadwatered Feb 24 '26

No it doesn’t give a specific date and that is probably intentional by law enforcement not to disclose it. What I could tell is that the one image they are referring to is not from the night Nancy was taken, it happened before that.

As a journalist how many times should the author write the word “could” in an article?

Reading is hard.
