The Bongino Rule: Caution in Reporting

The concept of the Bongino Rule emphasizes that the first report of an event is often inaccurate. Drawing from personal experience as a street cop, the host illustrates how eyewitness accounts frequently misrepresent details of an incident, leading to misinformation. The recent school shooting in Wisconsin exemplifies this phenomenon, where conflicting reports emerged about the number of victims and the assailant's identity. This highlights the need for patience and verification before forming conclusions about evolving news stories.
