News Avoidance Syndrome – THE NEW YORK TIMES
So we are going with this being an unprovoked shooting.
In a way, we can see the point of The Times needing to deflect from the reality of the latest ICE shooting. After all, after it performed a Zapruder-level analysis on last week's shooting event, where they definitively declared the agent was never struck BEFORE the agent's own cell phone video showed he had been hit, they want to dismiss any further evidence from ICE.
So it is with the latest, as the paper seems to want to avoid the detail that this time the agent opened fire after being ambushed by three assailants.
We have to guess that the words "After Attack" were too cumbersome after reiterating last week's shooting.
